Why has there been a lack of racial analysis on this story of violence in prison and others in the past month

Countless academics, charities, prison officials have forgotten the legal system is transparent in its institutional racism

You can’t talk about prisons and ignore race

In absence of process what other means is there available to those of us who cannot afford to go private? This is also why a lot of exclusions hit working class families the worst. It’s seen as an easy option to solve systemic issues!

No diagnosis for my son; SEMH to PRU trap. Labeled as “aggressive” multiple times throughout reports due to executive functioning impairment & sensory processing issues. Black Caribbean SEN boys at highest disproportionate rate of exclusion. Not on my watch. His future matters!

I say ‘join’ but what I mean is organise, organise and organise with and alongside community.

If I didn’t join No More Exclusions #Free 🇵🇸 and a few other groups a couple of years ago I would be so pessimistic about the possibilities of liberation in our lifetime. Join movements and be in community with folks because we can’t do this alone. All our struggles are connected. ❤️‍🔥

Case escalated to leader of the council, inclusions & school governors without any process being adhered to.This isn’t an isolated case; UK wide with an over subscription of SEN pupil’s, schools are taking to utilising unlawful exclusion as a means to “streamline” well no more!

For those who claim there is no evidence that #SureStart works, please read this summary of findings from the US #HeadStart programme starting in the mid-1960s. The 1st cohort are grandparents now. & then contemplate Gove’s vandalism. nhsa.org/resource/facts…
