Final post of 2012

Hello. Apologies if you've been wondering where I am, but I've been having a break at home away from all that technology gubbins. Today is my last day until January so I thought I'd get a quick post out to you to prove I still care. And of course there's the small matter of the world ending tomorrow, so I thought I'd get in before Mars attacks or whatever it was that the Mayans weren't predicting doesn't happen...

What I really wanted to bring to your attention was this report showing up failings in the care system. It was substantially reported by the media and you can find mention of it on the BBC website too.

That aside, I just wanted to say thank you for making this year so much fun for me. My teachings statistics have gone through the roof so thank you for turning up for training sessions and thank you for reading the blog.

Have a brilliant Christmas and good luck for 2013,

Alan
