Listening to 2 young people from Care4Me in N. Tyneside. How many houses have you lived in? Up to 7 in the audience today. It's often 12 or more for these young people. No space or time to 'move home' just rapid change, new people, new place...#effectingchange @NTvirtualschool

A trauma informed approach leads to better outcomes and futures for our young people. We look forward to sharing the invaluable findings in the research by the Rees centre about this area with our schools.

Something VERY misunderstood is that refusal to accept help/to know that help is needed/to trust that someone can help/to trust someone FULLSTOP is a trauma response... 'independence' is not the goal where there has been trauma. Interdependence is.
Replying to @_LisaCherry
A legacy I am still trying to overcome as an adult in trying to accepting support and feeling safe in relationships now…

When I was in care teachers often told me I was useless & not clever enough to go to uni. But yesterday I passed my doctoral degree & became Dr Kelly! Never let anyone tell you you aren't good enough! Thank you @NikkiLukePsych @ReesCentre @wellcometrust for believing in me! 🎓🥰

Just let that sink in. Language matters. Is it finally time to remove this word from children's services. Errr... yes. Yes it is.

Really interesting ‘Lincolnshire social work practice to support attendance seminar’ organised by @IsabelleTrowler - hearing about how social workers are supporting school attendance - sounds like they are really effective ‘education champions’! @NAVSH_UK 🌟

Understanding the role and importance of Virtual Schools is not just for SENCOs or DSLs or DTs. All school staff should familiarise themselves with the incredible resource that VS are! @NAVSH_UK
