Say 'yes' to #flexibleworking requests from returning parents. It's as simple as that. Not sure what you'd do once you've said 'yes'? Grab a copy of @FlexTeachTalent's book, "Flex Education" to help you find the workable solutions #MTPTproject 2/
@FlexTeachTalent Encourage the use of #KITdays and #SPLITdays - use them on site, remotely, or for #CPD, coaching and training purposes #MTPTproject #returntowork 3/

@FlexTeachTalent @WomenEd @SuzanneBrown55 ... visibly struggling, being signed off on stress, having to work a resentful 13 weeks of payback period full-time, knowing they have been forced to resign, sacrificing their values and time with their children, and these brave women's flex request is *still* denied... 2/
... it sends a very clear message to the pool of colleagues that come after them - those considering motherhood one day, those planning families, those expecting. The message is: "don't bother fighting, you won't win. Even Ms Courageous and Strong lost." 3/

My kids are 3 and 5. Since I started as Vice Principal (full time), several people have asked “how do you do it with your kids?” As it seems to be so popular a question, I thought I’d write a little THREAD 🧵 to answer and hopefully show it may not be as hard as it sounds… 1/
Out of interest, I asked my SLT colleague who has 5 children whether people often asked him "how he does it?" The (unsurprising) answer? No. They do ask his wife though (also a deputy head…) @MaternityCPD #MTPTProject @WomenEd @DiverseEd2020 @SLTchat 2/
Before I start I’d like to take my hat off to anyone who does this while solo-parenting. It can be done and I know people who do it but I’ll wager it’s several levels up in the difficulty stakes. I know not everyone is lucky enough to have the support I mention below. 3/
A thread for any small child parents but particularly teachers who live in half termly cycles, want their children to eat healthily but have massive imposter syndrome around all the domestic goddess stuff (like me) #MTPTproject
Tip 1: study M&S’s “taste bud” range, or equivalent high class organic ethical healthy brand. Produce yourself for cheaper and with less plastic. 
Freeze at least one meal per week of each half term, in glass containers. Then you can take it straight out of the freezer and blast it in the microwave/ oven without plastic-anxiety or the need to think ahead at 6:45am.

What are your experiences of gender-based comments as children? #WomenEd #MTPTproject
How often do we reject our femininity & isolate ourselves from other women/ girls because of toxic comments about 'being girly'? #MTPTproject #WomenEd
