This is a great short film, would advise everyone to give it a watch.
It highlights how far we have came as a society.
Very glad that it also touched upon the ESF, which provided so many opportunities to people and projects that wouldn’t have had otherwise.

The evening was amazing with constructive conversations.
Inclusive and age appropriate RSE is important to be standardised across the curriculum, every young person deserves to have education on RSE.
My experience of RSE varied from my peers and it is unacceptable that this is the case.
On Monday, Alliance is bringing a motion calling for inclusive, standardised, and age-appropriate Relationship and Sexuality Education in schools across NI.
RSE is a safeguarding tool, and every young person deserves guidance on how to build healthy, respectful relationships 👇

Great to see a majority of people and parents polled support the transformation process for schools

This is a disgusting act of hate which intents to intimidate and stir up hatred.
I agree with

and am thankful that the PSNI are investigating.
If you have any information I urge you to pass it on.
Integrated Education demand is far above supply.
@Education_NI
needs to take advantage of the Integrated Education Act and properly plan how to meet this demand by parents.

Vital infrastructure is possibly going to be turned off in the darkest period of our year next year in an effort to balance the books.
