Disappointed long-term @Timberland customer turned away over a clear manufacturing defect (sole separating).Edinburgh store refused to help without a receipt for a cash gift, and their official 0800 customer service number weirdly routes to a speaking clock. Zero support!

More young people are finding it harder to belong in classrooms - but if initiatives like @ScranAcademy which refuse to accept "certain young people are destined to fail" are to make a tangible difference they need "long-term funding" says @Will_Scran tes.com/magazine/analysis/se…

Brilliantly said, Will!
Young people aren't always best supported through education by schools alone. We know this. There needs to be an education ecosystem for the most vulnerable young people to thrive in. We know this too. We need funding streams to reflect that. Let it be known. #ittakesavillage
