Good! I hope they do this

Some schools such as my daughter's (a state secondary) have trained counsellors. A friend of mine who is a counsellor has also managed to develop a part-time paid position for herself at another school. I don't know how common this is, perhaps not very. I imagine different schools will adapt...

@MErmaid - good luck!!

What are we paying them for? Same as usual, buck passing.

I have some sympathy for view MErmaid but we may have different ideas about how to go about this and what direction to take before we even begin to get started. I don't know that we could do better (we couldn't include me)

I'm strongly in favour of supporting the needs of children and the most severe raised by @Amw66 and @Keela Too . They're our most vulnerable and should be able to count on the rest of us.

:) Thanks, Andy.

Surely the content of at least one of those 10 min speeches could have been sent before hand with the agenda. I may have missed this, if so apologies, but can someone confirm who all the people going from S4ME are?

I'm not on twitter; Has someone has pulled the drawbridge up?

me too. Another reason to be careful not to be too prescriptive?

Maybe you would find drying off naturally in a towelling bathrobe/dressing gown easier. Top tip I learnt off PR, I think.

The UK happens to do really well in this field of design/production. It's a successful part of the creative industries, which are a much bigger part of the economy of the UK than people might think. Sorry can't remember any supporting facts. edit - changed important for bigger

A drunk person might say "Oi! Simon! We pay your wages!" The thing that stands out to me when I read Wessely's letter of October 93 to Aylward (post 98) is the assumption that we are a nuisance, not amongst those they were both being paid from the public purse to serve. The tone reeks of it and...

My gut response? Seems fart oo unlikely tumm-y.

@Andy - It looks to me as though Lllamamom has unintentionally included her comment in her quote of Simon M. The last 2 paragraphs are hers. I remember doing the same myself once. Hi @Lllamamom welcome to the forum! You make a good point about brainfog, it's one of my major issues

It would be great if just nobody clicked the link. 'Nothing to see here..' SW's little pdf of horrors isn't in a national newspaper, Natalie's article is. Natalie provides links to references which some people who don't know about the ME story may click on and read. SW provides a slippery mess...

fewer not less :laugh:sorry eta in reply to @large donner

My 73 yr mother was regularly exposed to DDT and and played with asbestos when she was a child from the way she tells it. She's very healthy but 3 of 4 children have 'issues'. A poll could be interesting if you want to set one up. Not sure what it would tell us in relation to ME though, it's a...
