Sertraline saved my daughter’s life, along with the GP who was willing to step into a grey area and prescribe them to her at 17 because CAMHS (who had otherwise been great) wouldn’t. He will have my eternal gratitude. She’s not only surviving now, she’s thriving.

When I was team manager for my daughters swim team, the Bristol Stool chart formed part of the conversation at every single swim meet, our swimmers were oddly obsessed with it. I wonder if the current team members are also obsessed with it and if it’s passed down through generations of swimmers.

Went to Tavistock today and it seemed like every Morris dancer in the Southwest had been rounded up and let loose in the town, bells, sticks, drums and dancing all over the place. It was oddly comforting.

Maybe they aren’t happy with the behaviour policies of these secondary schools. Perhaps this trust in particular need to look at theirs?

Something far less salacious ☹️ school business leaders.

Had those at my last school, I was on first name terms with them, Annie and Mary. Replaced the burners and that saw them through a couple more years, eventually though they shuffled off their mortal coils. CDC surveyor said “ohh these are the oldest I’ve seen” ☹️

Not just Derbyshire, capacity in my school is 70-80 depending on level of need, 138 on role, 50%ish 1:1, so high levels of staffing, deregulation from pupils due to overcrowding, exhausted staff, exhausted parents. It’s a nationwide crisis as pupils become more complex but investment is stagnant.

Let me know if I miss anyone

Increase in home education in Devon and Cornwall The number of people choosing home education has doubled in Devon and Cornwall.

"families of children with special educational needs, school anxiety or medical conditions have found it to be a suitable alternative" Over the last decade PCC failed to act to increase SEN school capacity resulting in pupils needing specialist places staying in mainstream.

Are you an SBL who has just joined Bluesky? Here’s a quick starter pack of SBLs and other education peeps I’ve found on here.

Think of Bluesky as the cozy coffee shop where everyone knows your name, and the Wi-Fi is strong enough to stream cat videos without buffering.
Time to make new connections — preferably without the drama of a Twitter thread!

After years of scrolling through what was becoming increasingly like a fetid swamp where you had to watch every post you wrote in fear of being jumped on and attacked, I realised I needed a breath of fresh air.

They are brilliant, the brochure itself is worth keeping!

Having a hysterectomy in a couple of months, have been given a replacement for when the time comes! Came with a catalogue of all their products, apparently you can give the gift of gonorrhoea and a crab louse! Lovely!
