Last of the series on elite boarding schools last evening with Suzanne Zeedyk The Bowlby Centre Excellent finale with Nick Duffell Alex Renton Piers Cross Nicky Moxey 🧙‍♀️ Simon Partridge Penny Nicholls

I keep thinking about Alex Renton saying last night at The Bowlby Centre Conv that the boarding school men we meet in govt (such as those at #PMQs today) are the ones for whom the intended, dissociative shaping process succeeded. (It doesn’t for all children. It failed with him.)

'No space to say “please, stop, this is terrifying, I want to go home”' - Hugo Rifkind is excellent on how boarding schools 'normalised brutality'. But are we sure children in residential care - private or public - are safe today? Mandate Now thetimes.co.uk/article/boardi…

The violent abuse that was done to these #boardingschool boys is evident in this brave BBC Panorama programme. It comes on top of the more fundamental attachment damage that is part of the BS institution. We must stop living in denial of that damage too. Alex Renton JoySchaverien

As a journalist, gotta say that abuse of children and other scandals will go unreported (and Joy's articles won't be published) if we all refuse to pay anything. Sorry to be grumpy.

Charles Spencer’s memoir reveals him to be a survivor of ‘boarding school syndrome’ independent.co.uk/life-style/roy…

'Children are abandoned, bereaved, and they're captive.' Psychotherapist JoySchaverien tells Tom Swarbrick that those who are sent to boarding school often 'have a childhood without love'.

theguardian.com/education/2024… The Letters page in the Guardian great coverage of the psychological impact of boarding.

Impressed the Guardian published these letters taking seriously the traumas suffered by so many who attended boarding schools. Thanks to Charles Spencer brave memoire. Nick Duffell Simon Partridge Piers Cross Suzanne Zeedyk Penny Galia Wilson theguardian.com/education/2024…
