14:1035992"Drop pre-emptive schemes (box ticking) and self-auditing and the entire equality agenda. Rely instead on rigorous, independent, unannounced inspection and sack everyone who has performed badly. Stop ticking. Ignore those forms. A top oncologist and a top primary head teacher both told me that's what they do, knowing they (like their staff) are too useful to sack. How about some passive resistance?"
Hurrah!!!!!!!!!! Let's go for it!!!!!
