We've already received calls about people who've become trapped after attempting to drive through floodwater water.
Please don't drive through floodwater water.

A few inches can flood an engine.
A couple of feet can float a car.

If @michelledonelan honestly thinks that these external valuation methods are a waste of money why not get rid of the expensive stuff that no one in HE likes, like REF, TEF, KEF. And why stop at HE? Schools can self assess! We don’t need OFSTED wonkhe.com/wonk-corner/miche…
