Word of the day is ‘huff-snuff’ (16th century): a hectoring bully or braggart.

A bully exploits their powerful position over those they perceive to be weaker than them. We don’t tolerate it in the playground and we must not tolerate it on the biggest political stage.

A massive shift in the #UNCRC Committee today with the departure of several members, including the wonderful Ann Skelton and Mikiko Otani who have both led it so brilliantly at different points during the last 8 years. Chapeau and gratitude to them both for all they have done for #childrights!

Word of day is ‘unasinous’ (17th century): united in stupidity. A riff on ‘unanimous’: which comes from the Latin for ‘one mind’. ‘Unasinous’ means ‘one ass’.

Dear BlueSkyers. Sadly I'm getting many reports of scammers pretending to be me here, incl messaging people with 'investments' . Pls share/help me spread word that, as you know, THIS IS MY ONLY BLUE SKY account (proved as my handle is an official MoneySavingExpert one). All others are scams

Paddy Kelly is a genuine legend. I have worked with her for over 25 years. Her tenacity, resilience and determination has often left me speechless. She’s has had a spectacular career so far and has made a significant difference to the lives of children across this place in a way few have. 👏🏼 🥰🎉

It’s good that an independent reviewer was appointed to assess implementation of Anti-Racism Strategy. He found yet another example of where spend a lot of time writing strategies but no-where near enough time and resources on implementing them.

💔- this lovely little girl was ignored when in plain sight When will we learn? Sara taught us that: Professionals need support & time to see what’s happening. Children communicate in many ways. Home education is not an excuse not to protect children. There can never be a defence to hitting children.
