This has been published just in time to be squeezed into an assignment I'm submitting tomorrow, lots of interesting perspectives!

A really interesting read!

This is amazing! 🐸🌿🌳

The perennial challenge of permanent exclusion Permanent exclusion is on the rise. Is it being used with good reason and to good effect, or is it an ineffective sticking plaster?

A struggling child is excluded, sent miles away to a Pupil Referral Unit, and placed among other struggling peers.

Reintegration is rare.

The system isn’t fixing the problem – it’s isolating it. Change is overdue.

Sometimes you need to use your study day to give your brain a rest and read something other than a journal article or textbook 🌞

Congratulations!

Lovely to be back on campus today, along with these ice skating ducks ⛸️🦆

Wow what a fantastic day at the DECP TEP conference 🤯 So many new areas of interest!

Found her research really thought provoking, can't wait to see it published.

First term complete 🎄 Wishing a restful break to all my fellow TEPs, we're 1/9 of the way there! #edpsychs

Absolutely! 😻

You know me too well! The observation went out of the window but I was in my element 😁

TEP training needs to cover having to help evict an incredibly agile cat from a nursery classroom 😂

Reflecting on a conversation with a parent who felt ashamed I'd be doing a home visit when the family live in 2 rooms. Something about telling her I grew up in a similar situation helped to level us. This is why we need to widen entry to psychological professions.

This was beyond helpful last year for anyone going through the motions again, or for the first time, this year. Happy to help applicants anyway I have capacity for #edpsychs

Bumped into someone I used to work with today 'I'm so glad you left and decided to follow your dream!' 🥲 Me too!
