Unbelievably, #DuvetKnowItsChristmas generates such good will on social media that over the years we've raised somewhere approaching a quarter of a million quid for homeless charities. If you can spare a bob or two, sling some to Centrepoint, and here's the link: www.gofundme.com/f/duvet-know...

This is the 15th year of #DuvetKnowItsChristmas, which is preposterous. Rules: if you find yourself dealing with unusual / claustrophobic / gaudy sleeping arrangements this Christmas Eve, share a picture with the world. Use the hashtag (with capitalisation) and cc me if you can be bothered.

It is Dyslexia Awareness Week 2025. So many myths still to bust, one or me is the assumption that dyslexia cannot be identified until a child is approaching the end of primary school. Re-sharing our feature from the Dyslexia Voice magazine from earlier this year that tells my son's story.

Our survey for Gaelic Medium Education leavers closes on Tuesday and is doing very well on responses, but please help us to give it a final push so we can capture as many people's voices as possible before we head into a month of data analysis! #gaelic #gaidhlig #gàidhlig #educationresearch #careers
Our fieldwork is underway for our GME Careers project. This week we've been out conducting the first of our focus groups with school pupils and our survey for school-leavers and young adults is live! More information here: linktr.ee/GMECareers
