I thought #adolescence was brilliant but I’ve got a nagging feeling about episode 3. The more I think about it the more unethical the whole assessment felt: is this really how assessments work? Surely leaving a vulnerable child feeling abandoned purely to get the information needed is not right.

Good to see new Effective Practice Spotlights from HMI Probation being published with inspection reports.

Provides a number of examples of where probation work is done well, a nice antidote to inspection reports which bring the negatives to the fore.

I was so proud to attend my partner's book launch at @waterstones.bsky.social in Sheffield last night. Great conversation between Rachel & @helenmort.bsky.social.

IT COMES FROM THE RIVER is the story of three women bound together, in search of emancipation.
