It was a pleasure to be involved in the development of such a wonderful resilience resource, empowering CYP with SEND to advocate their wellbeing needs 🌟 #childrensmentalhealth #specialschools #widgitsymbols

Getting stuck into my new book - loving it David Whitaker ❤️ this is going to be essential reading for schools who are part of our pilot project for developing whole school systems based on understanding behaviour and supporting wellbeing #compassionandkindness #EPs

'I Can't' (with Missing The Mark). When children struggle to attend school, their parents are often urged to 'nip it in the bud'. They're told to insist and to return them ASAP. The idea is that behaviour will become entrenched and it's easier to change things early on. 1/

#twittereps does anyone know of any research around lived experience practitioners & being an EP? Maybe being parent of child with SEND or sharing similar experiences to those we work with? I kind find some for social workers and mental health field. Long shot?!

I loved chatting about our reward-free practice and feel very privileged to appear in the same piece as Alfie Kohn! bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

Staff have also heard from Natasha Colley, a greatly experienced Senior Educational Psychologist. Natasha has shared ideas about self-regulation and how we can help to support our students with these strategies.

🎊 🧠 Special few days coming up 🎊 🧠 Off to the beach to a supervision retreat with a group of psychologists whom I very much enjoy working and learning with! #twittereps

Saturday Night Alive at the Supervision Retreat #twittereps #psychology136

Bringing our supervision retreat to a close - it’s been so fantastic I’m humbled to have shared this with this group of amazing EPs ♥️ #psychology136 Laura Dee Catherine Court

Where’s the yummy Turkish delight boxes? M&S Sainsbury's ?? It’s a Christmas tradition in our house it is me or is this now really hard to get?

'The House of Lords report says the education system for 11- to 16-year-olds is too focused on academic learning and written exams, resulting in too much learning by rote and not enough opportunity for pupils to pursue creative and technical subjects.' theguardian.com/education/2023…

World of ‘x’ please unite …. I cannot find Turkish delight anywhere! Sainsbury's you’re out of stock?!?!? M&S you’ve discontinued yours?

Has anyone found a box of this in Sainsbury's this year? I’m so gutted they seem to be out of stock did they fly off the shelves or not get made this year?

This really was one of the most amazing and memorable parts of my 2023 - not just the night I went but enjoying all the clips of the whole tour #harrystyles #loveontour #harryshouse instagram.com/reel/C1KHWx0tv…

Let's imagine that we have 100% attendance. Every child is in school. The sick ones, the unhappy ones, the ones who have just lost their parent or grandparent. The ones who are only just four and can't quite manage a whole day yet without a nap. They're all in. 1/

DECP conference 2024

Statement from UK national charity SMiRA on the use of "situational mutism" Vs "selective mutism". Please RT and share. #selectivemutism #situationalmutism

“If we write them off as choosing to misbehave then we’ve stopped being curious as to what is going on” These words from Naomi Fisher show the choices we have. We can choose to locate problems within people or strive to make environments safer, more regulating & more inclusive.

Eastern region conference start off with Louise Bomber 👌 #twittereps #traumainformed #trauma #aces #developmentaltrauma
