We've polled our school support staff members: the findings are shocking
🏗️ Almost 1 in 4 work in buildings with asbestos
💩 More than a quarter in damp + mould
🌊 Over half face leaky roofs
🏃➡️ 35% lack key PE facilities
📚 17% don't have books for all ages
This can't go on.

Kola is a private hire driver.
His dash cam sees the whole road, but TfL rules keep it silent on what's said to him.
So the abuse leaves no trace.
Drivers deserve to be heard.

How many words of South Asian origin do you use every day?
Today marks the start of South Asian Heritage Month.
This year's theme, "Unity in Diversity", reminds us that our strength comes from standing together.

The Commonwealth citizens onboard travelled to help rebuild the UK after the devastation of World War Two.

Putting a time limit on how long ambulance workers can stay on a category two emergency call is dangerous.
But that’s what East of England Ambulance Service Trust is doing.
They must rethink this policy.
