We can do better than this - it takes a village to raise a child: working together as a community and being humble about our so-called expertise. Revealed: England’s pandemic crisis of child abuse, neglect and poverty theguardian.com/society/2021/a…

And it's face to face!!!! I'll be tap-dancing with glee just to see real people! And I guess that links to the reality of managing change - COVID and virtual working is just one change we have had to contend with in the last 18 months.
