Day 127 - Monday 27Th July @ 11.04Pm I Feel Like I’Ve Been Punched in the Stomach
Day 127 - Monday 27th July @ 11.04pm I feel like I’ve been punched in the stomach. This may be not only the worst day of lockdown, but one of the worst days of my entire life. So, my friends are all seeing each other tomorrow whilst I’m being left out. I... feel so many emotions I’ve not felt in months. I thought they were my friends, apparently not. So, it’s short tonight, but for good reason. My friends are leaving me out and I’ve probably annoyed my best friend. Please fix this. Until tomorrow. Day 126 - Sunday 26th July @ 11.24pm Today wasn’t the greatest. We visited grandparents for a while which was nice to see them again. It’s strange seeing family more often since the change in lockdown. I played for a wee while this afternoon with friends but they all eventually moved on to competitive which made me feel not the best. I brought it up with a friend who seemed supportive but I really don’t know anymore. Please bring back the past couple of weeks. Until tomorrow. Day 125 - Saturday 25th July @ 11.50pm See yesterday’s entry: nothing has really changed today. I played with friends today which was awesome to be able to but I still can’t do competitive so... I feel slightly left out (of course unintentionally and it’s all on me). I just feel worried about playing it and messing up in front of friends. Thanks anyway for the great past couple of weeks so far! Until tomorrow.

27Th April 2020
27th April 2020 IN THE NEWS As confirmed hospital deaths from COVID-19 passed the 20,000 mark over the weekend, the UK became the fifth country to reach the tragic milestone. On Saturday, Home Secretary Priti Patel conducted the daily briefing from Downing Street, she reiterated the message urged several times in the week, for the public to continue their compliance with social distancing rules. This comes as the number of vehicles on the roads increased 2-3% over the past week and the government comes under scrutiny about the requirement to release details of a lockdown exit plan. Health Secretary Matt Hancock urged on Thursday, "We must retain our resolve and follow social distancing rules – they are working. To lift the measures too soon and to risk a second peak will be a mistake and undo all the hard work that has been done.” In his last day leading the government before Boris Johnson takes back the reins on Monday, Dominic Raab talked about the "new normal" we will need to find for the many months it will take scientists to continue their work on a vaccine. Testing – on track On Thursday, the Health Secretary announced that all essential workers and their households would be able to book a coronavirus test online from Friday, saying "It's all part of getting Britain back on her feet”. Due to high demand, the website closed on Friday and Saturday as all available slots were booked. Home testing kits are also being rolled out, as ‘test, track and trace’ programmes are hailed as a vital component in the fight against the virus.

Edition 4 Ketchum London COVID-19 Media Intelligence Report
Ketchum London COVID-19 media intelligence report – Edition 4 Money on my mind Welcome to the fourth edition of Ketchum London’s COVID-19 media intelligence report. During this challenging time, we are sharing insights on consumer behaviour and media patterns with our clients and agency friends. This week we take a closer look at money. With the chancellor announcing another package of emergency measures to support charities through this period, how can brands engage with consumers sensitively at a time of great financial strife. How will spending rebound and what patterns of behaviour might we see emerge? In a week when COVID-19 delivered its latest plot twist, with prime minister Boris Johnson moved to intensive care to help manage worsening symptoms of the virus, the grave reality of COVID-19 is a continual reminder. These shifting external events will naturally affect anxiety levels as media coverage of COVID-19 becomes inescapable, and the financial realities set in for individuals and businesses. However, striking the right tone with media has never been more important. An article published in The New York Times this week couldn’t have made this clearer, offering a stark warning to brands: “at a time of death counts and soaring unemployment and improvised hospitals? A single ill-considered post on social media could result in tar and feathers — both for companies and for brand-name people.” Now more than ever, defining a communications strategy has never been more critical. From ensuring there are no skeletons in your corporate cupboard which might surface and cause irrecoverable reputational damage, to ensuring ideas and messages are tested for tone, relevance and suitability.

Daily Update 24 April 2020 Dear Colleagues
Daily Update 24 April 2020 24 April 2020 Ref: TP/2404 Dear colleagues, Past daily updates and key national and local guidance is being updated daily via: https://link.walsall.gov.uk/Local-Authority/Walsall-Public-Health/Coronavirus- COVID-19 To aid accessibility the title bar for each article will be colour coded as follows: National guidance or updates Key safeguarding guidance/ updates Walsall guidance/ updates Letter from Secretary of State for Education Yesterday, Gavin Williamson wrote to schools and education providers to “reiterate my gratitude for your efforts in supporting and caring for our most vulnerable children and young people, and particularly for making sure that they, alongside the children of critical workers, can continue to attend school, nursery or college”. In terms of attendance the letter re-iterated the intention that: Children and young people who have a social worker should be encouraged to attend an education setting unless their social worker decides that they are at less risk at home or in their placement. Children and young people with an Education, Health and Care (EHC) plan should have a risk assessment in consultation with parents/ carers to determine whether their needs are best met at home or in an education setting. For children and young people who are otherwise vulnerable the school will know their circumstances best and hence discretion should be used to encourage attendance if it is deemed they are safer if attending school. 1 National parent helpline StarLine, a national telephone advice service for parents has been launched by Star Academies Trust. The service is run by qualified teachers and education and parenting experts from schools, trusts and national organisations.
