🚨 The Government has just announced that free school meals eligibility will be expanded to cover all children living in households that receive Universal Credit. This is a very positive move, marking a significant step towards taking hunger out of the classroom 👇🧵

‘The LEANS curriculum introduces neurodiversity concepts, and explores how they impact primary school experiences. Importantly, LEANS shows how we can hold a positive attitude towards neurodiversity, while also recognising the challenges faced by many children in school.’

I always bear this in mind, as to me it's a key tenet of Educational and Child Psychology. Similar to our family sayings of: "A stitch in time saves nine" and "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure". Creating meaningful belonging, and "mattering" is so vital. #edpsychs #reflections

Lots of conversations in group supervision this week about CPD. This year is HCPC renewal, that means 2.5% of EPs will be asked to submit their CPD log. Does anyone have a CPD audit tool that can be used to help inform CPD needs and strengths? #edpsychs #CPD #HCPC @edpsy.bsky.social

#edpsychs Does anyone have some useful primary aged resources to help an ELSA in discussions with a child to help them understand and process their father coming out recently as a gay man? The mother has asked for ELSA support. Typically I would consult the LGBTQ+ resources -Stonewall, books etc?

Surprising revelations here beyond the headline. A Finnish study where nursery aged children playing in a playground or soil had a completely different gut biome, and significantly reduced inflammatory markers after 28 days than those who played in concrete or matted playgrounds. #edusky #edpsychs

Sobering watching the Channel 4 "Swiped: The school that banned smartphones". Its a experiment (English secondary school) following year 7 and 8s who give up smartphones totally for 3 weeks. Impacts measured by Uni of York. Must watch for all parents/carers and #edpsychs #c4swiped Suicide warning.

My thesis article on social justice in EP practice has now been published in the Journal of Educational and Child Psychology (BPS) in a special edition on Intersectional Identities, Education, Psychology and Social Justice: explore.bps.org.uk/content/bpse... #edpsychs

‘If you see something that’s not right, we need to challenge it.’ A critical review and qualitative exploration of Educational Psychologists’ perceptions of social justice and practice in local authority services in the West Midlands

AimsThere has been relatively little research into social justice in educational psychology in the UK. A qualitative exploration of Educational Psychologists (EPs’) views of social justice in educational psychology practice in England was undertaken, aiming to comprehend how EPs understand and define the term in relation to their role; and what EPs can do to work towards social justice, noting perceived barriers to working towards social justice in EP practice.Method11 EPs employed in four West Midlands Local Authorities (LAs) took part in semi-structured interviews, analysed using Reflexive Thematic Analysis.LimitationsThis was a small-scale exploratory case study design. It was likely to have recruited participants who were already attuned to social justice agendas. Thus, responses were relatively uniform in their orientation. The study also did not capture the voices of EPs working outside of local authority settings, or privately, or outside of the West Midlands who also may have significant contributions to how best to facilitate social justice work.ConclusionsThe final psychological framework presented may inform EP reflection, to develop and further refine cycles of EPs’ own social justice praxis.

Neurodiversity affirming language is SO important - I read so many referral forms which describe traits with an unintentionally problematic lens. LANGUAGE IS EVERYTHING!
