Lockdown CPD: Panorama (BBC iPlayer)

Panorama is known for often hard-hitting documentaries on current affairs topics. Several of the available documentaries will link to the Prevent Duty, modern slavery, the politics of education funding, child protection (and serious case reviews) and issues of equality.

Community support during COVID-19: resources and ideas for supporting 0-18 year olds’ learning at home #BetterTogether📚💛👩🏼‍🏫👩🏼‍💻

We’ve already set up a high school study group for students in our family and I’ve got stacks of learning resources/activity ideas for children aged 0-8 – I’m sure we can find a way to make it digital! (I’m also a dab hand at turning Disney films and BBC documentaries into relevant learning 😉) #BetterTogether📚💛👩🏼‍🏫👩🏼‍💻
