Personal post…My mum has died. She was the most amazing woman. Adjectives people describe her as include loving, compassionate, empowering and inspirational. Being her daughter is a privilege. Arranging her funeral has more pressure than arranging my own wedding…

When will it be ok to say - ‘parents, do better for your children’? Children aren’t ‘lucky’ to have parents who read to them or teach then how to use a toilet. We must find a way to stop education being responsible for the shortfall of parents. We need a culture shift in this one
