Fascinating evening last week at @instituteforgov where I joined the @jrf_uk roundtable The Care Paradox: does high-tech = low-care?

Reporting for duty at @worcester_uni. Back after 20+ years but this time as a Governor rather than a student. This place is an exemplar of ambition & inclusivity, one of the fastest growing HE institutions in the UK, with the vast majority of its students from state schools ❤️
