An autism registry? I’m pretty sure there is a good reason why we should know and learn from history 🙈🙈🙈 #edpsychs

Failed skateboarder. Secondary to that a Child & Educational Psychologist. (Specialism - Fostering & Adoption) #edpsychs Care experienced #cep Views, own.
No news from the Government regarding the Adoption and Special Guardianship Fund today. Precisely what these kids needs- lack of stability and continuity. Slow clap Labour…
My passion project is ready ⭐️ three years in the making Please share my thesis project amongst your networks - I’m seeking primary/secondary teachers of PHSEE and curriculum leads for reflective group sessions on sexism
If a young person makes you this, you put it on the mantelpiece in pride of place. Thank you! #edpsychs
Once I got away from my desk, this rewarded my eyeballs.
Had the absolute pleasure of doing my annual session with TEPS at UCL on innovative practice, lived experience, care experience etc etc. Always fills my cup and I hope the TEPs got something from it too 😀 #edpsychs #traineeeps
Musing on intention (if any)of young person swearing when I met them.Quick response would be ltd. vocab/emotional lit., but I think it has lots of nuance/meaning. It doesn’t bother me but I know some really dislike swearing. I wonder what others think?(Yet to learn a word I didn’t know!). #edpsychs

‘Literature is one of our last democratic spaces where we can slow down to have more nuanced conversations and if we cannot have these conversations within novels, where can we?’ (Elif Shafak).
It is done. Full Cowell of 100 different parkrun venues and second alphabet at Zamek w Malbork, Poland today. Thank you parkrun 🧡 You’ve taken me to places I never thought I’d visit and met such a wonderful community along the way. #loveparkrun
Bitterly disappointing to see this soft-touch approach to ending profiteering in care system. Asking providers to 'voluntarily limit' profits (when cost of a child in care can exceed £1m p/a) assumes a level of trust never earned. Tougher measures are needed now; gentle negotiations won’t work.
Overhaul of children’s social care in England will crack down on firms’ profiteering
The #Psychology136 retreat ends (named after our collective years of experience as EPs). Narrative therapy,SCERTS,social thinking,HCPC regs,access arrangements,autistic burnout & supervision. The privilege of having these inspiring, insightful women in my life is not lost on me. #edpsychs
Supervision retreat day 3. And what a sight to wake up to. It’s going to be a good day! #psychology136 #EPcollab #supervisionretreat #edpsychs #goodmorningall
Making my bead of life at our supervision retreat was quite profound. Has anyone else made one? #psychology136 #edpsychs
We spent time doing our Beads of Life activity at our supervision retreat today. #psychology136 #narrativepractice #experientiallearning #edpsychs
A fortifying walk, fresh air and walking and talking #psychology136 #edpsychs #supervisionretreat2024

Re read this blog again today. I liked reading about where identities and systems intersect and son forth. Lots of layers in our work aren’t there? Some visible and some not. #edpsychs ://edpsy.org.uk/blog/2021/reflections-of-a-disabled-educational-psychologist/

It had been a loooooonnnnng time since I stepped foot into my old junior school but today I did for work. I even observed in my old classroom. Loved the teacher that taught me in that room- the GOAT teacher. Happy times. Another perk of the job! #edpsychs

I am looking for just one final educational psychologist who is also a parent of a child with special educational needs who’d be willing to share their experiences with me for research. If this is you, please DM me for more info. #edpsychs thanks!
I so valued the occupational therapist joining us for a consultation at our special school recently. Worked really well. It can be quite hard to get everyone in a room at the same time (& I still think f2f has a different vibe than online!). #edpsychs
Reading a paediatric report for a #careexperienced young person that has a list of their diagnoses, one of which is ‘looked after child’. Last time I looked, this was not a diagnosis 👀 This could be written differently (& better) IMHO! #edpsychs
Pretty good cast. Would have liked to have seen an EP there too though as I think we could offer some good evidence informed thinking, too. #edpsychs
