For me, it all comes back to our Child Friendly Warwickshire's Four Cornerstones model, developed by IMPACT (Warwickshire's SEND CYP forum) and our Voice and Change Team. 🙌🏻

A fantastic day at Warwickshire's SEND and Inclusion Conference, including the opportunity to facilitate our 'unconferencing' discussion around attendance and engagement.

Positivity, togetherness, and a room full of good people who work bloody hard to support local CYP and families. 💚

BBC Radio 4 Today on X: ""You can't physically chuck a 13-year-old over a school gate and say: ‘Go on, get in.’" Actor Anna Maxwell Martin, who's navigated the SEND system as a parent, tells #R4Today that attitude is just as important as funding to help support children with special educational needs. https://t.co/W2297Cthsr" / X "You can't physically chuck a 13-year-old over a school gate and say: ‘Go on, get in.’" Actor Anna Maxwell Martin, who's navigated the SEND system as a parent, tells #R4Today that attitude is just as important as funding to help support children with special educational needs. https://t.co/W2297Cthsr

YES, Anna Maxwell Martin! 🙌🏻 Thank you for highlighting the tensions faced by CYP and families re. barriers to school #attendance, EBSA/EBSNA. And, for so clearly voicing the ethos, approach and attitudes we need to promote instead. 🤩

Reframing the myths and stereotypes of homelessness | BPS Psychology student Maisy Gledhill visited a unique exhibition, ‘How To Survive The Apocalypse’ at the Museum of Homelessness.

1 in 50 in London are currently homeless. There must be more than can be done/offered.

Haha, I didn't even clock my own typo! 🙈 Can I quickly ©️ it?? 😂
Everything you say is so very true and would be wonderful!

I'm a big fan too, absolutely brilliant advocacy and crucial loved experience. Maybe we can petition the government to make theirs a mandatory department to every Local Authority 😉

Important article on responses to homelessness, 'Our brains dehumanise homeless people'. Objectification, bystander effect, the attributions we make, political discourse. We have a shared responsibility to cultivate empathy, care, understanding, connection.

Reflecting on testimony injustice in service discussions on epistemology this week. As EPs working in consultation with CYP/families/schools, do we give all parties equal time & space to tell their perspective? How do we support those with less of a voice? #edpsychs

Yes please, Ish 🙌🏻

Delighted to discover that @autisticrealms.bsky.social is over here (and had made the move before me... 🙈) 👋🏻

Great to see the number of familiar faces/posters/organisations moving across from the other place...
