Star, just wondering how you stumbled upon this - presuming you were trying to find info on something concrete and then found the doublespeak emails instead.

[StarlightMcKenzie]

auntevil Absolutely.

I was reading it thinking 'ah, the good ole days'!

pink That is EXACTLY the point!!

[auntevil]

Had a good old reminisce there! It's amazing how little can be achieved when seemingly so much has been communicated to so many different contributors!

[pinkorkid]

Well, I hope they knew what they were talking about but it was mostly lost on me - someone in government trying to make something sound more palatable? What's the context? What are behavioural economics?

[StarlightMcKenzie]

Incidently, can anyone point me to the accredited TA courses that include the ABA one?

Hello [Cabinet Office Official],

I promised to winkle out some DfE colleagues who would be happy to get involved
with a behavioural insights discussion relating to the early years and the messages
which Government and sectors give to parents/carers, employers etc. Sorry it's taken
such an age to get back to you - I've barely had two moments to put together in the
last few weeks!


wtf?
