I’m off work on holiday from tomorrow, so I’m not going to blog again until at least mid June. I’m imposing a social media ban upon myself whilst I go to Cornwall and do ‘Dad’ things, read some books and see good friends with my wife and son.
Thanks to all for the support the blog has recently received, especially as May has been a record month of interest and use. The Quick Guides seem to be getting used if the blog hits are anything to go by and I’ve had emails to say they were effective in altering outcomes – that’s what this blog is all about.
When I get back, I’m going to start thinking about bringing the blog to life with different types of resources as I try my hand at a podcast and some other stuff that could be used as training or briefing materials.
I hope you all have a great Jubilee Bank Holiday and a relaxing half-term. I want to leave you a short video to think about; something which caused me to really think. It is a five-minute speed-lecture, a rapid tour de force, by Liz Kearton entitled “Madness, Reason and Unreason.” I put it up to get you really thinking – it should do so regardless of whether you end up nodding or shouting!

I try to keep this blog up to date, but inevitably over time, amendments to the law as well as court rulings and other findings from inquests and complaints processes mean it is difficult to ensure all the articles and pages remain current. Please ensure you check all legal issues in particular and take appropriate professional advice where necessary.
