Post traumatic stress recovery

BBC foreign correspondent Fergal Keane is to delve into his Post Traumatic Stress Disorder for a Horizon special, talking frankly about the many years he has battled crippling anxiety and depression. The trusted BBC foreign correspondent is best-known for his decades of reporting from some of the world’s worst war zones. But as a result of his work, Fergal has long suffered from an acute form of PTSD. It's a year since he withdrew from conflict reporting and revealed his condition. Now Fergal, 60, is making a very personal film in which he explores his diagnosis and its impact. Where did the PTSD start and what caused it?

Fergal says: “I … [Read more...] about BBC’s Fergal Keane to explore PTSD in TV special after years reporting from war zones

SECONDARY school kids won't all be able to go back on the dot on March 8 as they have to be tested first, Gavin Williamson confirmed today. The Education Secretary stressed that schools could have a few days to get all their children back in as they would need to organise dishing out the tests. Secondary school kids are to be tested twice a week under fresh plans to get children back in the classroom from March 8 - with the first two done in schools. They must be done at least three days apart, meaning millions may not be going back until the week after. As officials said earlier this week, kids will be allowed a staggered return in order to sort out the system. Breakfast and after-school clubs and children's sport can also start again.
