Reddit is testing chat rooms again
- Reddit is testing Discord-like channels where users can talk to each other in real time.
- These channels will be located within various subreddits, allowing users to swap between searching through posts and chatting with other users on a range of topics.
- Reddit have said they differ to the platform’s Live Chat feature as the chats “will be dedicated spaces, rather than a one-off post.”
- These conversations can be accessed within the main Chat tab on Reddit’s bottom menu bar.

Pupils suspended from schools across Warrington reached ‘record high’
- Data from schools in Warrington has found there was more suspended pupils in the spring term last year than in any term since their records began in 2016-2017.
- The latest Department for Education figures have shown 638 pupils were suspended in the 2021-2022 spring term, this is up from 407 in the same time period in 2018-2019.
- The Children’s Society has said the rising number of suspensions is concerning, since poor behaviour indicates children are suffering from ‘unmet special education needs or larger issues outside of school’.
