Launch time! And new videos begin….
We have most certainly invested in the longer days and worked our little socks off this April! Not only have we finessed ‘The Fundamentals’ Programme of 5 hours teaching ready for launch next Tuesday (WAHOO!), but we have already filmed the next five films for a further programme of teaching, to be released before the……

Mental Health in Bassetlaw: Our poster and key rings are now available!
Within the North Nottinghamshire area there is a wide range of help available for anyone who needs support. However, it is not always easy to know who is out there and how to find them, especially when it comes to children and young people. You Before Two and the Bassetlaw Place Based Partnership (BPBP) have……

That together thing
Hello 2022. Hello you. Still remote. Mute? Frozen? Oh no, we are just so skilled now with that coordinated action of camera and microphone, like some kind of new breed of zoomie wizards. I’m 14 days in and no talk whatsoever of ‘seeing me but not hearing me’ or vice versa. Dare I say it,……

Choice. The only path to change.
I have just been made aware of the brilliant Population Media Center. You want to be inspired, you watch this video. There are no words more meaningful than those spoken towards the end of this short video from Farellia Tahina of UNICEF, ‘you don’t tell them, do this, do that, they choose. They choose what……

Are you a Saint Bernard or a Jellyfish?
Seven hours later I felt somewhat subdued trying to absorb my BEAT Eating Disorders training for healthcare professionals. I was relieved the training was in two parts as I did need some time to reflect on just how inadequately we manage this condition in society and the healthcare system. Even within my lifetime I know……

‘If we aren’t feeling butterflies, we aren’t alive’
These were the words of a teacher I spoke to this week, and he should have felt relieved that there was a screen between us, as there was a real risk of me lounging forward in request of a jubilatory hug or a high five! We all remember that looming deadline being the only thing……

Thank you so much for being the first visitors to our new website!! It has been a spectacularly busy year. For that, I feel completely blessed. Not a single moment has been wasted on me. Stepping out into one unseasonably balmy evening after the next, following a (very) long day in the office, with colleagues……

Relationships & Sex Education: Teach Everyone Every Aspect
There is little wonder why subjects like RSE (Relationships and Sex Education) have been confined to teachers taking Human Biology lessons, or to those with a particular passion or the confidence to teach a bit of it in PSHE lessons. (However, there is nothing more cringing than the classics teacher having a crack at it……

Happy? Earth Overshoot Day. August 22nd 2020.
Sometimes we need a sobering thought. Without any wokey word crafting. Earth Overshoot Day. Is this concept as new to you as it was to me? Like many things associated with the environment, what is known cannot be unknown. No amount of pretending or posturing or looking the other way can detract any of us……

‘We are not robots’
I find myself saying this rather a lot in our workshops when children ask us ‘what if I forget?’ Or, ‘what if I make a mistake or say the wrong thing?’ Us human beings are rather messy sometimes in our reactions to situations. We are of course immaculate when these situations are viewed in retrospect….…

TO KID or NOT TO KID
Please watch this film by Maxine Trump now available to purchase. It was a privilege to be asked to be part of the launch of this magnificent film in the UK this week. Rubbing screens with Leilani Munter and Nina Steele is not something I will forget in a hurry. Not to mention the extraordinarily……
