#NolanPrinciples and Twitter: NP aren’t just for holders of public offices. They can and should apply to all aspects of our lives. Below are some NP questions about Twitter interactions. 1. Do your posts pass the #selflessness test? 2. Do you declare conflict of interests and show #integrity? 3. Do your posts use the best available evidence when critiquing something and are you #objective? 4. Who are you #accountable to for your posts? 5. Are you #open about why you’re criticising something? 6. Are your posts #honest? 7. Under your #leadership do others start personal attacks on people you don’t like?

The shove it in technique here in full swing. If it doesn't shove then it's going on a kid. Books positioned perfectly to spill out when opened.

Where/how would responsibility, authority, accountability lie? ie within the formal education system/organisation or without? Be it MAT, Maintained, standalone academy etc 4/5 #ukgovchat

But, lets discuss a more ‘drastic approach. Is what we have, the best approach? If you were designing an oversight' (deliberately not using the word ‘governance’ here) system/role from scratch, would what you come up with? 3/5 #ukgovchat

ie recruitment (the right people around the table), effective clerking and chairing, skills and training etc, are LGB members ‘governors’ and, yes, payment! etc 2/5 #ukgovchat

I’ve never been called a corker before! Over the past few years, we’ve covered many aspects of the current ‘system’ that might improve the efficiency of such..... 1/5 #ukgovchat

Apologies to @sdpenny for all the tweets. How could I have mistaken you for @SDPenny1? Best to mute & also #ukgovchat (unless you are a school governor)

'Gold Standard' 🤣🤣🤣
Had to read this twice to believe it. The @NEUnion opposes giving all teachers free, optional access to gold standard curriculum materials so they don't have to plan from scratch. Truly depressing. A new low from @MaryBoustedNEU and @cyclingkev #otherunionsareavailable

What have I done to keep getting world cup score notifications from Twitter? More importantly, how do I stop them?
That's a wrap then folks. Off for cake! My son's here so a risk it might all disappear if I don't get in first! Thanks for the contributions #ukgovchat

So, the first step is to identify risks – regardless of what we might then do about them #UKGovChat So, jump in folks. Who has a risk register and what sort of risks are on it?
