The DfE Suspicious Head injury pilot. What do we know about its impact & implications? Will its pilot reports impact on part 25 expert instruction ? What do we gain & lose by such reports?
Join us @FamilyLawBar.
10th Oct, 6-7.
This is too important an issue not to engage with.

Sickening to see some of the vile racism reported this week, directed at the Prime Minister. He represents a British identity and history global in reach, far bigger than Little England; sealed by the blood of millions, who volunteered to fight for our freedom in both World Wars.

And another excellent post on the controversial head injury pilot imposed on the public. Please read and share. Thanks @Familoo transparencyproject.org.uk/c…

A huge failure of transparency: Controversial Suspected Inflicted Head Injuries pilot launched: Lawyers raise concern about lack of consultation and potential unfairness

SIHIS: firstly, you can’t apply a sort of groupthink ‘expert’ algorithm to every case of suspected infant head injury. Everyone who knows them knows that. Secondly, what about justice being seen to be done? Or are we disapplying that in children’s law because it’s too expensive?
Should be a really interesting day. All are welcome!

We’re v lucky to have this world class panel of medical experts and a keynote from Baker LJ. All are welcome, including non Harcourt barristers. But you need to register your interest now.

This is a fantastic paper. In the stampede towards ‘transparency’ we have to be more vigilant about agenda driven ‘reporting’ on these sorts of issues.

4 ordinary lads (except that 3 of them were very very clever) who astonished themselves (and in my case, everyone else, too) by getting into Oxford nearly 35 years ago. Still right up there with the proudest, happiest, most important achievements of my life.
Finally got round to reading ‘Travels With Herodotus’. What a fantastic book. Ponderings on the nature of history and the past particularly interesting to any trial lawyer, so often delving into the past to discern ‘truth’. There is no past/truth,only infinite renderings of it.

The largest intact Roman mosaic floor discovered in Turkey, dating back to the sixth century, is a remarkable find. The mosaic, found in Antakya, covers an impressive 1200 square meters and features unique geometric shapes and non-repeating figures, likely designed for a public space.
The mosaic has a rippling effect caused by earthquakes in 526 and 528 AD, but it does not create the impression of a giant blanket. Despite the earthquakes, the mosaic remains intact and unbroken, a testament to its resilience and the skill of its creators.
