The 2nd day

...was not exactly the cheeriest of topics to spend 6 hours studying: Adult Support and Protection (what they used to call Protection of Vulnerable Adults and still do in England and Wales, but the Parliament of Neeps (aka Holyrood) decided to be different - as per usual). 6 hours talking about the various forms of abuse, how to spot it, what to do about it etc. Lovely - not! Necessary, of course - and done better than anything I had whilst working for the Church. Because IT IS MANDATORY, not voluntary. As are supervision, assessment et al. A lesson in there for Sanctae Ecclessia Dei perhaps?

And for a little escapist magic (or was it the drugs?):
