A great first SDEP Anti-Racist Network Meeting for Scottish Psychologists. Lots of good learning, reflection and participation. Thank you to those who took part and looking forward to future sessions and making steps towards meaningful change.

The Year 1s marked our last on campus day of the year with a team lunch! Tomorrow is the last day of lectures before our final study week of Year 1 🤯 Thank you to the team at Education and Society at UoD for all your support this year #twittereps

Last time checking into placement today. I’ve had such an amazing first year with @PsySlan. Thanks to the whole team for providing me with so much valuable experience and reflections. 😊 #twittereps

Good luck to the Year 2s who start their first block placement of second year tomorrow. We've got this 💪 #dundeeteps #twittereps

Excited to read the new autumn edition of the EPiS journal which features my first published article alongside @ClaireDTEP and Scott plus lots of other interesting articles from my fellow TEPs.

Such an insightful and interesting discussion from Dr Lisa Cherry and Dr Karen Treisman, MBE, Clinical Psychologist that has provided me with lots of reflections. Would definitely recommend a listen.

This is absolutely heart-breaking. All children and young people need to feel psychologically and physically safe at school, including students of colour. This is why anti-racist education is so important! x.com/LBC/status/162…

As trainees we have made the difficult decision to share the troubling reality of being a TEP in this financial climate. Please listen, share and help our fight for pay restoration in line with inflation. Nicola Sturgeon Shirley-Anne Somerville

In year 3, for £13700 we work 0.8 - with our own caseloads, providing an essential service to young people, families & schools. We teach practitioners they must be regulated to help regulate others - while we operate under immense financial pressures impacting our mental health..

Tomorrow the national minimum wage increases to £10.42ph. This means that under current funding arrangements, our year 3s earn under the national minimum wage. £10.30 ph providing an essential service for LAs. Something has to change! Scottish Government

Urgent changes to funding are needed now! #twittereps COSLA tes.com/magazine/news/…

Couldn’t have asked for a better or more supportive bunch to share this TEP journey with 👊
