Revealing and upsetting scenes in this film.
These four mums are caring for their sons who have complex needs that result in distressing and harmful behaviour.
They want to highlight the result of cuts in services.

In my 23 years as a teacher our profession has never given parents’ views the status and respect they so obviously deserve. It’s so counterproductive. Far easier to characterise as difficult, sharp-elbowed and unreasonable.
Take a look at parentactionni.com 🙏🙏👍👍

AFM families all present to hear powerful evidence of courageous and dignified family liaison officer Geraldine Ohagan. She has been a rock for so many patient's families and gave her testimony today despite being seriously ill. This has been hugely appreciated by us all.

And also thank you for touching on #StandardiseSafeSpaces
"Safe spaces" should have minimum standards to ensure that every child regardless of setting attended should have access to things like water, snacks, toilets etc whilst regulating

The Carer's Leave Act comes into force in GB tomorrow, but those juggling caring and employment in NI will be left behind.
We're urging @conormurphysf to go a step further and include paid carer's leave in the Employment Rights Bill. It makes moral, financial & economic sense.
