My tale of me - Chris Jenkinson

The recent proposal from the government that all schools should have their own dedicated police officer is unfortunately necessary - and while it will have the benefit of improving the relationship between young people and the police, it is fundamentally an admission of failure by the government to tackle both anti-social behaviour and carrying weapons in schools but more fundamentally to change the ethos of schools and local communities into one which is united rather than divided. This is a long-term project, but it’s one which the government appears to be making few moves on.

JR Hartley has written some interesting aims for the new executive at the Students’ Union for Manchester Metropolitan University which are quite transferable to other unions across the country. A session or interview with the various officers on Fuse FM every so often (which could be recorded and put on the website) is a potentially good idea. I’m already pretty sold on the blog updates!
