We've asked some Community of Practice members to tell us about what 2020 has meant to them. Some things may surprise you...
When I returned to work from maternity leave, I was struggling with weight issues and general poor health following a tough flu season. My mood also plummeted from over-work and family responsibilities.
I was called in by my Head of Learning and Teaching to discuss my ‘workload’ recently. My first thought was “oh no, they will add more to my workload as they’ve discovered that I’ve been working under my contracted hours”.
I consider myself a child anxiety expert. It’s my specialty trade in my private practice but I’ve also backed it up with published research studies.
