I’m proud to represent @Place2Be on the Oracy Commission. Thanks for including a mental health view from the outset. Brilliant experts and commissioners. Super impressed how @RealGeoffBarton @BeccyEarnshaw and @amy_gaunt corralled the information into this accessible report.

We need to talk about oracy—what it is, why it matters, and why it matters now, in particular.
We are proud to share the final report from The Oracy Education Commission, including our findings and recommendations.
We need to talk👇

Wonderful to have this support to grow our work in Devon and the SW in memory of Juliet Garmoyle.
A new Fund, launched in memory of Juliet Garmoyle, aims to transform children’s #mentalhealth support in Devon & the South West of England.
The Fund will enable @Place2Be to extend its school-based support into the region for the first time. 💛 place2be.org.uk/about-us/new…

Negative emotions like attachment and anger are part of our lives, but there are antidotes to them. We need to reflect not only on the damage anger and fear can do, but also on the benefits to be found in cultivating compassion and non-violence and find a balance between them.

Where to even begin with #ThankATeacherDay? So many teachers to thank. Thank you to all of the amazing teachers I've met and worked with in the last decade . You did enough before March 2020, there aren't words of thanks big enough for this last year.
