A very happy and well deserved half-term to all our members across the West Midlands.

Please try to find time to switch off, and make time for friends and family.

If you need someone to talk to, you can call our partners, Education Support, who will take time to listen to you.

Our West Midlands Regional Executive met this week and discussed the strength of feeling about the flawed #Ofsted framework.

Our members' voices are being heard by employers; inspection can be high risk to individual safety - Ofsted's own report commissioned from Education Support makes it clear.

Thanks to everyone who joined us for our West Midlands #Ofsted Campaign update yesterday, with General Secretary Paul Whiteman and President Angi Gibson.

We must take collective action for fairer and safer inspection.

Don't forget to write to your employer about Ofsted! (See your NAHT email!)

We were at the BASBM Conference today (Birmingham School Business Managers).

We talked to members and recruited new ones.

SBMs have a pivotal role in Ofsted inspections and the new flawed framework will impact them too.

ACT NOW and write to your employer: www.naht.org.uk/Inspectionan...

Today is a little different, as our #LGBT+Network has managed to wrestle* the BlueSky password from our social media team.

We'll be posting throughout the day as we head to #PrideInLondon and march with our #NAHTPride banner.

Please say hello if you see us in person, and like and repost here!
