“Schools have a crucial role to play in teaching young people about sexual consent and respect for women and girls. They must also be places where all children feel safe, and where they are able to report any incidents of abuse or harassment and be confident that what they say will be acted upon” - Ofsted chief inspector Amanda Spielman following the announceme­nt by the UK Government of a review into sexual abuse in schools.

“This is a huge honour and it is a pleasure to be surrounded by these incredible women. This is like the fourth time I have been up for one and I have always been the bridesmaid and I expect to be the bridesmaid again, but that’s OK because I am going to really enjoy it this year” - Singer-songwriter Jessie Ware after being nominated for album of the year at the Brit Awards 2021.

“As restrictio­ns lift and the weather improves, we cannot drop our guard. We’re not out of the woods quite yet. Until all of us are protected, it remains essential to follow the steps we know stop the virus from spreading. Kill it by washing your hands, block it by wearing your mask, and maintain a safe social distance in the open air” - Public Health England medical director Dr Yvonne Doyle.

“People sometimes ask me if my back ever hurts having broken it all those years ago in a parachutin­g accident. The answer is every day. And the treatment I get for it can be quite intense but life can at times be a battle for everyone and most people have their stuff to carry with them through the adventures. I choose to be grateful for the opportunit­y to still be able to live life as best I can”
