You can’t build a successful education system around shame, embarrassment, detention & exclusion. You can’t create inclusion for all via a curriculum that only works for some. So as the saying goes “If the child doesn’t learn the way you teach, start teaching the way they learn.”

“…to feel that our actions matter”
Our CEO @helengou.bsky.social reflects: "For big social challenges we need to see ourselves as part of the story for change... to feel that our actions matter. The #PeerActionCollective is an astonishing example of how that works in practice; connecting research to social action on the ground."

Words get bandied about in policy terms. Concepts get tightly defined in theory. Such as compassion, collaboration, care... Yet we risk these fine words, concepts, and values becoming meaningless if we don't truly live and breathe them in all their raw, messy, evolving selves.

Independent Commission on Neighbourhoods calls for spending on ‘mission critical’ local regeneration schemes
“Red wall” Labour MPs are urging Rachel Reeves to fund grassroots “social infrastructure” such as parks, community centres and libraries, as well as high-profile transport projects, to ensure voters in left-behind areas can benefit from growth.
The Independent Commission on Neighbourhoods (Icon), chaired by the Labour peer Hilary Armstrong and supported by a string of backbenchers, has identified 613 “mission critical” local areas. Continue reading...

25% of children are neurodiverse. The human race is as dependent on neurodiversity as biodiversity! But our education system is not set up for them. We’ve all heard of ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences), but as a result neurodiverse children endure an Adverse System Experience!

Some years ago when I attended an introduction to ABCD @cormacrussell.bsky.social asked a question “What do you do where you live with your neighbours” This profoundly changed the way I thought about my role as a citizen. I can testify community-centred renewal happens over a cuppa, sharing lives.
