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

🏫 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

📢Educational psychologists in England and Wales will strike tomorrow We spoke to Dr Cath Lowther, General Secretary of Association of Educational Psychologists, and other EPs participating, to explore the issue further. Read here: edpsy.org.uk/blog/2023/educ… #TwitterEPs #SaveOurServices - please share

Today I am on strike, this is never an easy choice to make but I believe in fighting for local services. ‘69% of local authorities are ‘not confident’ they will be able to meet the demand for EP services if there is no change in funding, training and service delivery models.’

Sending out solidarity and support to all EPs who have taken the difficult decision to strike today. #SaveOurServices #TwitterEPs

I’m on strike today. It is hard as I don’t want to let people down. Sadly, our profession faces a recruitment and retention crisis. Workloads have risen, there is not fair access to services and the work we are expected to do is increasingly complex. #TwitterEPs #SaveOurServices

Final call for SMHLs to participate in a 1-hour interview on Teams for my research 📢 Looking for 1 more SMHL to participate in my doctoral research! 🗣🧠 Please share with anyone you know who may be willing to participate. #TwitterEPs

"Give justice and equality to all". An inspirational poet and human being. Speaking the truth and demonstrating integrity. I hope many young people continue to learn about him, as I did at school, because his messages need to be heard!

We said this on 1 Jan 2024: "A general election is on the horizon. Young people’s mental health is in a state of emergency - it’s time to address the root causes and radically improve support services. Politicians need to step up and do more for young people." And we stand by
