It’s a extremely difficult.😳
This pandemic has changed the way people work. #Covid19UK
Teachers are working under extra pressure and just expected to get on with it.
Let’s reach out to them, let’s lend a ear and thank them for what they do. 😀 #TeachersMatter
Every day teachers are checking in on and worrying about their students, but we are not checking in on or worrying about teachers.
People may look at #Bradford and have their pre conceptions! 😳
Each year the city is growing with new investments, new direction, new generation.
When I am in meetings across the country, proud to say I am from #Bradford - Sofia M
@sofiaempowering Lovely words!
There is so much talent in #Bradford. It is a city with a community that is dedicated to making a difference. A young generation who have gone on to establish their own Bussiness.
Sharing ideas, working together to create a more inclusive, safer and united district.
"What I am most excited about is the energy and dynamism in Bradford... There is a lot of sharing of ideas and a can-do punk sensibility and drive. So there is a very definite forward motion."

The work never stops. Great work @KirkleesPrevent. We are looking forward to delivering our #EMAR programme in the coming year.
During the past half term we have delivered Prevent training virtually to 146 school staff. As a result of the training 99.3% of staff stated that they had a Good or Excellent understanding of how to report a Prevent concern, compared to just 55.4% before completing the session.
Thank you for always motivating and is inspiring everyone 💜
Whenever you think "I can't do this", remember all the times you thought that before and how many times you absolutely smashed it!
You've got this!

EMPOWERING MINDS CONSULTANCY WAS ESTABLISHED...
TO MEET THE NEEDS OF PROFESSIONALS TO SHARE GOOD PRACTICE ACROSS ALL SECTORS.
An open mind is already able to accept new learning.
Your mind is a very powerful tool and can only be unlocked with the right education.
Where our education comes from is down to what we have been exposed to.
Our mind can empower us rather than not empower us.
Ideologies and misconceptions can create animosity which can only be cleared with facing yourself, education and sharing practice.
We can unlock our mind with the right knowledge, hence the old saying, knowledge is the key.
If knowledge is your key, the mind is your lock. Learning empowers you as knowledge is the life of the mind.
Empowering Minds aims to engage, educate and inspire individuals through new learning and the literal practice of Diversity, Cohesion and Citizenship.
Her knowledge, experience and expertise in this field gave her the tools to open Empowering Minds Consultancy.
