Hello,


I am a writer doing some research into grandparents who care full time for their grandchildren. (I want to know what it's like to have to run around after children when you should be enjoying your retirement!) I am also interested in grandparents who might not have committed full time but who dedicate much of their lives helping to bring up their children's children. I am also very interested to hear stories of kinship care. The research is part of the development process for a drama script.


I would be so delighted if I could find a few people to speak to who wouldn?t mind telling me a bit about their lives. I can?t offer payment but can bring cake and coffee? Also, if anyone might know of any kinship care support groups running locally then that would be very helpful.


I am a mother of two as well as a writer and happy to PM CV and credentials should anybody wish to know more.


Many thanks for your help,


Anna

      Research - Seeking PHSE leads/Heads of Years (secondary school)

      By Emss · Posted

      I’m currently conducting exploratory research into menstrual health education in UK secondary schools and would really value the insight of PSHE leads, Heads of Year, or pastoral staff.    The research aims to understand:   How the menstrual cycle is currently taught within the RSHE framework Where schools feel confident — and where there may be gaps Whether students are taught and  asking questions around the full menstrual cycle, symptoms, wellbeing and conditions such as PMS/PMDD or endometriosis How schools support students in feeling empowered to understand their bodies and seek help appropriately Whether education around nutrition, lifestyle, and menstrual wellbeing is currently addressed   The long-term goal is to explore whether there is a need for additional, age-appropriate, medically informed support on the menstrual cycle.  I’m not selling a programme and there is no obligation beyond a 30 minute informal chat online (Unpaid). All conversations will be confidential and used only to inform the research. If you work in a UK secondary school and would be willing to share your perspective, I would be extremely grateful to hear from you. Please comment below or email me [email protected] Thank you for the vital work you do. Best wishes, Emma

      Nice topic and nice song!  1) Definitely top of Canonbie, looking North. 2) What used to be Francesca Cabrini school at the top of FHR. 3) Honor Oak playground, next to Camberwell New cemetery.
