The social media teams at domestic abuse & women's charities thinking can we not just have 2 days off without having to comment on a public figure saying or doing something awful??

When you write a tweet you NEVER know what reaction you're going to get, from good, to bad, to the absolutely batshit crazy.
If you ever needed proof that you can't please all of the people, all of the time, these are some of my favourite reactions to tweets I've written.

I remember doing a talk at an event in the City about domestic abuse policy for employers and one of the execs telling me it was 'very interesting but not that relevant here'.

Oh oh oh. 😳

This is as horrendous as it is heart breaking. How are unregulated practitioners given such power? The lack of transparency, the voice of the child totally disregarded.

Just had referral rejected as pg 19 (of 29) is missing from 1 of the 5 forms (for one referral)

All 5 forms ask same questions

I said wouldn't it be great if there was 1 shared form - I was told 'nothing is that simple'

No wonder SEND parents give up their jobs.
