A great start to our first day of ELSA training 👍 Now for an afternoon of active listening 🗣👂We're feeling very hopeful for the children of Knowsley 💞 #TwitterEPs #ELSA #BetterTogether

My heart is breaking as this tragedy continues. I fear the death and destruction of Palestinian people’s lives is accepted as normal whilst the world waits. 💔 So many people now calling for ceasefire and justice for all those caught amidst the violent games of the powerful

📢 Today, many EPs in England & Wales start a period of industrial action short of strike in a campaign to #SaveOurServices. 🗣️ “They’re taking action to ensure our children and young people see an educational psychologist if they need to & when they need to.” #TwitterEPs

⬇️ A timely reminder of why EPs are making the difficult decision to take industrial action: to reverse the vicious circle destroying EP services and protect them for children, young people & communities in the future. #SaveOurServices #TwitterEPs #EduTwitter

🏫 A reminder of the ways EPs positively impact children's health & wellbeing in schools - beyond Education, Health & Care Plans. With fewer EPs in services, there simply aren't enough of these conversations to support teachers and children. #SaveOurServices #TwitterEPs

Spoke to 2 family members this week who are just living with pain due to the state our health services are in. Things that could easily be treated if wait times and access were improved. There must be millions of people like this! The impact of a country in pain is not lost on me

We cannot rely on new punishment powers being brought in as they do not remove racism from England’s psyche. And ultimately, ‘criminal’ responses are engrained in racism, it is racialised people who will be at the sharp end of such powers.

In #Gaza, UNICEF estimates 15,000+ children have died. Tens of thousands are separated and missing. 9 in 10 are in severe food poverty. Our new fundraiser supports the vital work of the Palestine Children's Relief Fund. Launch blog here: edpsy.org.uk/blog/2024/fund… #TwitterEPs

Stop saying whether someone was born and bred here, that doesnt matter. Even if they were born on mars, even if they arrived yesterday. No one deserves to be treated any different. Human rights is for all. No human being is illegal.

Why not add xenophobia as well as Islamophobia? The violence that has heightened this past week has been aimed so horrifically at Muslim people or those perceived to be, why omit that word? Solidarity to all Muslims, people of colour, and minoritized people affected.
