Picture of person wearing two odd shoes. One is navy, one is green.

My discovery on arrival at the train station this morning on the way to a work meeting. Have decided to embrace the oddness.. what's new!

Seclusion guidelines 'fall drastically short' - charity A second disability charity has strongly criticised guidelines to ban or limit the use of restraint and seclusion for children in schools.

Wholeheartedly fighting back against these guidelines. I see a repetition of our history in Ireland; we have not shaken off our institutionalised, shameful past. We will continue to see cycles of abuse and harm of children unless we have a deep reckoning with ourselves.
