This year I am introducing our teaching and learning handbook.

This is the hyperlinked version that will be on the desktop. Lots of links to great resources, including all the fantastic @WALKTHRUs_5 clips. Staff have been able to order a copy based on what works best for them (A4/5, colour/ black and white/ electronic)

There is space next to each page for notes to be made, some with prompt questions.

For this wanting to further their knowledge, pages are linked to CPD sessions.

Coronavirus: Concern over protective kit guidance change bbc.co.uk/news/uk-523355…

This got me thinking of a poem many of us know.

Here is my adaptation. How are we not protecting our only line of defence? We do not deserve these people because they deserve so much more 💙 Dulce et Decorum Est Protegeretur

Working double shifts, dressed like old beggars wearing sacks,
Weak-kneed, coughing like hags, they do not curse or budge,
Till on the daily briefings they turned their backs,
And towards their much needed rest began to trudge.
