Bob in Scotland

http://www.groupcall.co.uk/GeldofonGroupcall.htm

Bob was in Scotland this week. He flew into Edinburgh (if only I had know, would have picked him up) to see Falkirk Council  install his groupcall truancy system in all their schools. My school uses it. It is very successful, only one or two minor niggles. See Bob describe it on the above video. In some schools it has dramatically cut truancy. He was talking about it on TV. He first thought of the idea when Pixie started a new school and had to travel across London by bus and he always worried about her travelling alone.

He talks here about safety and an 11 year old boy who was murdered in West Lothian.  Bob says the boy could have been saved.  I'm sure this system will be good in a whole number of ways.

So you didn't get to see him Irene?  As a teacher surely you have an interest in this and should be able to attend meetings
