Ask questions of our new Hub volunteers!

Tom @ the BNC 09 March 2020

Welcome back! We hope you all had a fantastic half-term and are looking forward to getting stuck into the BNC once again.

By now you'll be used to seeing Tom, Olivia, and sometimes Tiff responding to your comments on the Hub.

This term, we're going to be joined by some some friendly volunteers from Clifford Chance, a leading law firm where people are using their skills of reasoning, scepticism, open-mindedness and speaking up very often indeed. They are experts at the BNC skills and can't wait to help you improve on yours!

They are really interested in what you have to say on our new Issue on Health Care. They will be doing just the same as we do - asking you questions to help you think deeper and explain yourselves better.

So if you notice a Clifford Chance volunteer has responded to you, do write back!

Their comments will be in a purple box and look like this fictional example:

Our volunteers will also be answering your questions about how they use the BNC skills - reasoning, scepticism, open-mindedness and speaking up - in their jobs.

So just like asking questions of our NHS experts, we also need your questions for our volunteer experts!

You might want to ask about the kinds of things they need the skills for, or which are most important for them, or anything else you want to know.

Add your questions in the comments below!

Hi Tom, I just have a question for you that I can’t find the answer to. If you want to put a video on BNC, how do you do it and do you have to do it at school?

Do you think the NHS will survive and take on this virus feared of everyone, and will the NHS get paid to much?

This is something that I have been wondering about for a while now,
It is how many people work in the Burnet news club to read the posts because a few times I have posted something and the less than a minute later it's been approved! It would please me if I knew the answer.
Thank you!
Yours sincerely,
Decisive_spring

if you write a comment or post, is there any way of deleting it if you post it by accident?

  There is not - so the best thing is to be really careful! However, if you write to us straight after and tell us which one it is, we can delete it for you.

Hi I think we should improve the technology because then the NHS will give people there treatment quicker and get a lot of people treated quicker.
