A joint thematic inspection of community-based drug treatment and recovery work with people on probation
HM Inspectorate of Probation (HMIP) - Probation services across England and Wales supervise nearly 156,000 people in the community. HM Inspectorate of Probation estimates that almost 75,000 of these individuals have a drugs problem, yet fewer than 3,000 people were referred by probation services to specialist drug misuse treatment in 2019/2020.

Let The Children Play: Research On The Importance Of Play, Digested
By Emma Young
As children head back to school, teachers and parents will of course be concerned about kids catching up on their education after the Covid-19 lockdowns.

Clearwing moths
If I’ve counted correctly, there are 14 clearwing moths that we might see in The British Isles, some more likely in some areas than others (Welsh Clearwing, for example, and Raspberry Clearwing, Cambs and Beds). They’re generally diurnal, day-flying moths, great pollinators of wildflowers and garden flowers alike.
Orange-tailed Clearwing drawn to AND lure 16 Jun 2021
You might spot some on your raspberry canes or purple loosestrife on a riverbank. However, having a pheromone lure to bring them to your garden briefly for a sighting is a more certain way to see these amazing creatures. I’ve got a selection ...
