@garyseconomics.bsky.social Thankyou for shining a light on the policies that are maintaining poverty and poor living standards amongst the working and middle classes and against the most vulnerable in our society. This is not OK. Change is needed! #SocialJustice #BluSkyEPs @shocktigan.bsky.social
This was a really thought provoking piece from Ruth - though I am still uncertain where I sit with the term 'social prescribing' - I fear that to some extent, it medicalises community, the natural world, connection, volunteering, music, the arts etc. Great to your thoughts too colleagues :)
edpsy@edpsy.bsky.social · last yr.🌟New edpsy blog Delighted to share our latest blog from Ruth, which explores the potential for social prescribing to enhance young people's mental health and wellbeing Read here: edpsy.org.uk/blog/2025/so... #edpsychs #socialprescribing @psychmag.bsky.social @bpsofficial.bsky.social
Something has to change and we all have a part to play
Dr Dan O'Hare@edpsydan.bsky.social · last yr.I'll edit: "Nearly 20 councils at risk of insolvency due to a decade of austerity, rising citizen poverty levels, a developmentally inappropriate curriculum, an exclusionary and within child cultural understanding of SEND, and a decimated teaching workforce" @theguardian.com #edpsychs
Blackburn with Darwen’s EP Team are planning to deliver training to all our special schools from September. Have any of my fellow EPs developed ELSA training for special schools? If so, could we please connect? 🤓🌞
Surely British people cannot tolerate these policies anymore! Our families and children have been living in abject poverty for 15 years +. Poverty = need, its a simple as that #edpsychs
Check this out in one of our Blackburn with Darwen schools. A book vending machine! How cool. And what fun and value it places on books:-) oh it’s made my day 🌞🤓💓📚👦🚸 cute
in 1971, Bernard Coard's book exposed how 'Schools for the Educationally Subnormal' framed Black children as allegedly linguistically and intellectually deficient, and incapable of participating in mainstream education. its continued relevance means it should be compulsory reading for all teachers.
#edpsychs As part of our research on the DEdPsy course at UEL, colleagues and I are seeking participants for our research into EPs’ values and their impact on use of assessment tools. EPs working in the UK are eligible to take part and we would be so grateful! forms.office.com/e/kbDBmm9nWc
#BlueskyEPs Look what joy arrived today to our EP base 😝🤓⭐️All the way from Prof Tzuriel eek! #DynamicAssessment #SocialJustice #TheCognitiveModfiabilityBattery

Another great read from someone who spends his life addressing inequality in our schools, the brilliant Sean Harris @thatpovertyguy.bsky.social
Welcome to Bluesky @rf-g.bsky.social and @jdclay2.bsky.social … hopefully we can link with lots of other EPs/TEPs to debate, challenge, inspire, and support each other
Educational psychology teams across the UK are highlighted as ‘change agents’, best placed to consider and enact social justice: pure.manchester.ac.uk/ws/portalfil...

Barbara Bleiman@barbarableiman.bsky.social · 2y agoWhy hasn't this report had more publicity and more discussion? Or have I just missed it? The compulsory phonics screening test is taking up huge amounts of classroom time & yet seems to have no beneficial impact on either reading or writing. epi.org.uk/publications...
