Fantastic thought provoking thread. If we wouldn’t put up with this then why do we expect our children to? I experienced this very thing,seeing my child fall deeper into a fog of anxiety and despair with each passing day. It was absolutely heartbreaking. Thankful we chose #HomeEd

Imagine you're in a job you really don't like. You're bored, you have few choices about what you do, and you don't feel you fit in. Each Friday an 'Employee of the Week' prize is awarded & the pressure is intense. Every night you go home with hours of extra work to complete.1/

Are there any Midlands based paediatricians with an interest in working with @TCPS_UK on our exciting new FASD project? Something rather large is brewing…

Adoption support needs to improve and fast. Trauma does not disappear when an adoption order is made. It often takes years of really high quality support to make even small changes thetimes.co.uk/article/we-ha… #Adoption #AdoptionSupport #ASF #AdoptionSupportFund #Education #SEND

When will schools move past this completely unfair and discriminatory practice! Let’s reward those kids who are lucky enough to have good health… hurrah! Forget the kids with medical issues or poor immune systems, no hamper for you 😡 #Schools #Education #SEND #Inclusion

Can we replace the perfect attendance award with kind kids awards already? Coming to school when you’re sick or need a mental break doesn’t deserve applause. Including others, sharing a lunch with someone hungry, and not bullying others absolutely deserves recognition

We are officially 10 years old!! I originally set it up to try to educate those working in schools about trauma, who could then use that knowledge to support the children they work with. We haven’t quite changed the world yet but we have done a lot #proud #traumaaware #education

Half termly attendance record of a teen with an EHCP who has participated in all his online lessons for the last 6 weeks in his home rather than inside a school building. ⁦@GavinWilliamson⁩ ignored my request to explain his prejudiced policy directly to teen.

⁦@educationgovuk⁩ ⁦@GavinWilliamson⁩ CYP with EHCP’s are NOT a homogeneous group. My lad is safer at home than at school & is attending all his online lessons. Yet he’s recorded as absent because of your prejudiced & ignorant policy.What message does this give a teen?

**Census day for schools is this Thursday, 21st January** Please ensure you let your child’s school know if your child is eligible for the Pupil Premium Plus so they can add this to the census and receive the grant 👍🏼
