It is no secret that the arts have been going through a tough time in recent years.
But a major new report we're publishing today with the @uniofwarwick’s @CCMPSWarwickUni shows that things are even worse than we thought.

The chatter in the corridors after your session was wonderful @moffat_andrew - the work you do is so incredibly impactful for our students and the children they teach. Thank you for your time and wisdom! @TeachStMarys
A really valuable and inciteful day with @CWEStMarys , identifying the need to make the space in CPD, curriculum and staff timetables for supporting grieving children in the ways that they need.
“It is OK to feel angry or sad, don’t pressure children to be happy” Paige McCarthy at #BereavementEd One in every 29 children will lose a parent, carer or sibling - one in every primary school classroom. @StMarysU @AnnaLiseGordon @winstonswish
For the primary classroom it is @AdrianBethune every time. Beautifully and accessibly written, evidenced, practical and it really works; there is also another little gem by Jennifer Murray that I draw on often 😉
