HERTFORDSHIRE CITIZENS : SHANNON TRUST NEEDS YOU Our Corbett Network award-winning member teaches literacy across all prisons in England and Northern Ireland. Now Shannon Trust are working in partnership with Hertfordshire County Council and Hertfordshire Probation to support people on probation in Hertfordshire to improve their literacy skills. "We’re urgently looking to recruit volunteer reading coaches to support people to learn to read or improve their existing skills. If you live in the Hertfordshire area, and would like to transform lives through learning, or know someone who might, please tell them to visit our website, you can also find out more information about the project." For any questions contact: sajida.khan@shannontrust.org.uk; www.shannontrust.org.uk ********************* More details of their work: Shannon Trust transforms lives by helping more people experience the positive impact of learning. Each year, we help thousands to train and inspire people who can read to teach those who can't and build a different, more positive future for themselves and their families. Hundreds of letters they receive pull at the heart strings: 'able for first time to write to my wife'; 'read a whole book today'; 'it has opened my world.' "I am now more involved with my children, making me a better parent. My relationships with friends and family are now more intimate. I can express myself honestly as I don’t have to rely on others." "The difference before and after my Shannon Trust mentor helped me is more than words can say. Now my reading skills will help me to take the courses I want to do, and to go after my dream."

Did you know that 75% of Americans believe that diversity training for police officers is essential for building trust and ensuring fair treatment in their communities? Law enforcement agencies across the country are recognizing the need to address unconscious biases and promote cultural competence among their officers. Diversity training plays a crucial role in equipping police officers with the knowledge and skills needed to connect effectively with their diverse communities. By understanding how biases can influence their conduct, officers can take the first step toward self-awareness and meaningful change. Ready to learn more?

As a corporate member of The Tutors’ Association, I am so pleased to see John and others shining a light on the Tutoring industry. This broadcast raised some really useful and key points, and it makes me feel very proud to be a member. Since the pandemic, many people have set themselves up as tutors, and consequently, it has become really hard for parents to know where to look and who to trust. Keeping our students safe is our top priority. So, what do we do to keep your child safe? - Only use qualified teachers, and we check their certificates. - Tuition only happens in a student's home, online or in a school setting - never in a tutor's home. We also require someone over the age of 18 to be present for the duration of the lesson. - We require a minimum of 2 professional references. We also use a system that verifies the source of the reference to irradicate false references. - Enhanced DBS - Tutors DBS is currently checked every 6 months, and we are moving over to daily checking within the next month. We conduct prohibition checks to identify whether a teacher has had any sanctions against them while teaching. This would not show on a DBS check unless it was a police matter; however, it may be something that would make them unsuitable to work with a student. - We only use Tutors in the UK who have a secure and deep understanding of the UK curriculum. #tutoringservices #learning #Education https://lnkd.in/ec_4XWDA

The politicization of #schoolsafety and its accompanying noise levels may very well be why progress on school safety has stalled, not advanced. The first step to cut through the noise is for #superintendents, #schoolboards, #principals, and other #schoolleaders to recognize the depth and intensity of politics that exists around #schoolshootings and school safety.   Once recognized, they must then be educated consumers of school safety information and extremely critical thinkers who are laser-focused on research and best practices, while leaving the political noise behind. Advancing policy and funding for meaningful #schoolsecurity depends upon it. More in my latest blog: https://zurl.co/SXBK

Good article Sir - the question regarding, "Are we a society now where our leaders will only understand the magnitude of a school shooting if they personally walk through a “blood-stained” building, as the news headline read?" My answer is no - if it were only that easy. If 21 murdered kids at Sandy Hook Elementary School isn't enough to make meaningful progress for school safety and security, then I don't know what will. To no avail, I have been trying to push the idea that school security needs to be mandated and include these five proposed requirements: All schools should have - District Security Manager, Updated Safety & Security Policy and Procedures, Internal Threat Teams, Trained SRO’s or SSO’s and finally Independent security audit every 3 years. We haven't had a significant school fire in over 62 years because we have sound life safety codes -it's time to have the same for security.
