I'm a Human Resources Assistant for a gas transportation business called Wales & West Utilities (used to be part of National Grid Transco). Basically we own all the pipes in the ground and the gas companies pay us muchas money for pumping their gas through them.

For those that don't know what HR is all about. We recruit all new employees (Hiring) and deal with grievances and disciplinaries (& firing). Usually everyone hates us because if you've dealt with HR it generally means you've been a bad boy or girl.

I presume you're talking about the behavioural and re integration units? They are departments where pupils go to either ride out a spell of isolation, or to break them into the school routine if they haven't attended school for a while (as a result of family breakdown, expulsion, school refusal etc).
Education's changing from what it was 10 years ago in the hope that all children can benefit from some education rather than expelling 'trouble' pupils who when not in school will get up to all sorts (Like pinching Novas...):thumb:
