As I'm not eligible to take industrial action (not Soulbury paid), I am aiming to support the action by raising awareness and showing solidarity. I created this infographic to highlight some of the key issues in our profession currently. #SaveOurServices #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

I have made the difficult decision to strike today, not solely due to pay, but rising workloads and a broken system #saveourservices

Well said 👏🏻 #Saveourservices

"Avoiding school" is such a misleading term. The school attendance crisis? It's a mental health crisis. It's a SEND crisis. It's a school funding crisis. All of which began long before Covid but has been profoundly exacerbated by the pandemic. theguardian.com/society/2024/f…

Attendance Matters! But so do children… Perhaps you've seen a similar poster? Well, I propose a few changes; if we're going to award attendance I think we should at least be honest about what we're awarding. #attendancematters #edutwitter #childism #SEND
