This editorial by Dr Philip Archard and colleagues discusses the relationship between clinical practice and qualitative research in child and adolescent mental health. As a practitioner with a love for research, I found this an interesting read!

🌟New blog post Does consultation leave EPs ready to meet the challenges we face in 2025? From rampant inequality and austerity to exclusionary politics. How do we ensure our practice isn't just all talk? Sean considers this and more in this excellent read: edpsy.org.uk/blog/2025/al... #edpsychs

Thank you for sharing your important research Kathy and for all of the neuroaffirming you do. I’m looking forward to reading 👏🏾🙌🏾

Using neuro-affirming practice to support school wellbeing experiences of autistic girls can improve engagement and attendance. The voice of autistic girls in this research highlights a framework of supporting factors which school staff can enact. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

My research on masking black autistic girls in UK education has been published today in the Educational Psychology in Practice journal. When I started this research there were no other published articles on masking black autistic girls in the UK. www.tandfonline.com/doi/epdf/10.... 1/3

📑New project page Gwen, a TEP at the University of Bristol, is doing thesis research exploring EP/TEP considerations of nutrition in their work. Gwen is looking for as many participants as possible to complete the survey. Info and links here: edpsy.org.uk/blog/2025/pr... #edpsychs - please share

Grateful to have been interviewed for this article exploring why psychology in schools matters — now more than ever. At a time when political decisions are reshaping the educational landscape, it’s vital that the voices of psychologists are not just heard but embedded in these conversations….1/2

Great talk about researching with non speaking autistic people (and I do mean with). Loads of food for thought about how we conceptualise communication and learning.
