Had a delicious bowl of soup earlier today at the Sheila Fleet Kirk Gallery & Cafe in Tankerness. The last time a member of my family stepped through the doors was April 1939, when my great uncle married here, his sister pregnant with my father.

Autistic pupils are being let down. Only 26% of the more than 180,000 autistic students in England feel happy at school. It’s time for change and we need your help. (1/3)

So proud of my friend Tracey Barr and her fellow Collaborettes. Fabulous book launch for their new book Fab Collab yesterday - full of energy, colour and collaboration. “If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together.”

Schools & primary care networks should be at the ❤️ of integrated neighbourhood teams. Sometimes children’s services are deemed “too complex” to be part of the neighbourhood team but families don’t live their lives in service silos.

A fifth of children aged three and four have their own mobile phones! I strongly advise parents that young children should not have internet-enabled phones not least because of the risk of them accessing harmful content. telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/04/1…

We need to end discrimination towards autistic people seeking jobs. Nearly 9 in 10 autistic adults are unemployed, so there must be barriers we as a society have placed in their way. It's time to identify these barriers, and remove them independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…

Good nutrition is at the heart of health, wellbeing & development for children.

More needs to be done by Govt to ensure every child has the best start in life, including urgently improving the uptake & access to NHS Healthy Start Scheme⬇️
