🚨The special needs system is on the brink of collapse. The government's spending watchdog will publish its own likely damning investigation this week
But we’ve been chronicling the collapse for years. And I just want to set out how seriously bad things are … (mega 🧵)

If you care about financial education (or education policy change generally), come to our event on 12 November: loom.ly/OrfxUuk, we've got a bunch of great thinkers on the panel (plus me)
"...the impact is clear. After just one year, our research shows there has been a significant improvement in pupils’ financial knowledge."

Pleased to see this paper out in the wild - it provides important evidence about the impact that training police to reduce their use of force can have - which is, fortunately, to reduce their use of force...!
A new scenario-based, evidence-informed, officer-safety training course for UK police led to a 10% reduction in use of force and no increase in injuries to officers.
Paper: doi.org/10.1080/24751979.202…
ALT We aim to test the impact of a new national curriculum for public and personal safety training (PPST) developed by the College of Policing, which aims to reduce the use of force by police. We conduct a large-scale Stepped Wedge Pragmatic Controlled Trial with a single police force and 1843 participating police officers. Officers were assigned to be trained during a particular week of the year. We find statistically significant reductions in the use of force by police officers as a result of the training. These effects are a reduction of between 8.0% and 10.9% in the propensity to use force in a given week compared to the counterfactual. The effect is accompanied by a significant reduction in the likelihood of injury to civilians, and no rise in the risk of harm to officers. We conclude that the PPST curriculum appears effective at reducing use of force by police in a large scale, robust trial.
