Trying to soak up as much as I can about consultation at the moment so this has come at the perfect time! 🤓

This is such a rich piece of half term reading from @carlhendrick.substack.com. Scaffolding is more complex than it might first appear. The contingency rule is hopelessly reductive, and instead tutors must make "uncertain judgements" about support #edpsychs carlhendrick.substack.com/p/we-need-to...

🌟Thank you! From our festival in September, we've been able to donate £2,200 to support the fantastic work of @aktcharity.bsky.social - who support LGBT+ homeless young people Read more here: edpsy.org.uk/blog/2025/ed... Thanks to all our attendees and sponsors #edpsychs #epfest2025

(1/4) Thread incoming 🧵 I’ve been thinking about how feeling safe is such an important foundation for connection with the self & others, but in reality it’s rarely a straight line from A to B. How do we help children build authentic connection with themselves and with others in everyday practice?

Looking forward to suggesting this to my trainee, we have a little duck pond outside our council office which I don’t give enough attention to! 🦆

I’ve been thinking about which strengths are most visible when people work together and particularly the ones that show up quietly but just as meaningfully. It feels just as true for children as for us as adults, making me think about how we create spaces where every contribution is valued 💭

I've started sharing reflections on instagram through "EdPsych Corner" about neuroaffirming social connections and wanted to share here too, starting with how I love this quote. Belonging isn't just about being there, it's about being valued, noticed & able to take part in ways that feel authentic 💫

Wahhh!! This is gonna be MEGA! Can’t wait to tell you guys what we’ve been planning… Save the date and tell your buddies… 📆 Friday 23rd Jan 2026 Stay tuned for our BIG announcement in 2 weeks’ time. #edpsychs #PositiviTEA

🌟The new edpsy We're delighted to share with you our brand new site - a bold new look and feel for the edpsy community. We have a refocused mission and values and we're ready for our the next decade! Dan has written a short blog about the changes: edpsy.org.uk/blog/2025/a-... #edpsychs

Really recommend Motivational Interviewing training with @fionacoley.bsky.social and @drcathyatkinson.bsky.social. They bring such humility and warmth, valuing everyone’s contributions no matter where you are in the learning hierarchy (for me, still at the acquisition stage but I’m ok with that!) 🤩

Wow! What an inspiring day & a total privilege: conversations about MI in EP practice and learning alongside a group of really kind, knowledgeable & interesting EPs. Thanks everyone for creating such a wonderful learning community ✨ @drcathyatkinson.bsky.social #edpsychs #motivationalinterviewing

I have been really looking forward to the launch of Barriers to Education and I particularly love the WARMTH framework 😍 I hope this is spread far and wide!

So errrr....give us a follow...?! @educatedguesspod.bsky.social #Psychology #edpsychs

A wholesome weekend recharging and learning how to make macarons with my mum… I hadn’t realised how complex the process was, especially the Italian meringue! I’ll savour every bite from now on 😋

It seems that the EP community is steadily growing on here which is really exciting 😆 I had a funny conversation at the conference with @maxpurpose.bsky.social last week about what we can say instead of “I tweeted you” … all I could think of was “I blueskyed you” 😂 what do we think? 💭 #EdPsychs

Very excited to be at the Association of Educational Psychologists conference in Edinburgh 😆 it was a pleasure to talk all about positive disability representation and imagined contact. The nerves were quickly settled by a lovely audience, no surprise there with a group of #EdPsychs 🤗 #AEPConference

Really enjoyed today’s training on Motivational Interviewing 🤓 it was lovely to connect with other EPs and dedicate a day to learning. Feeling empowered with a valuable and versatile new tool for my EP toolkit 🧳 Thank you to Fiona and Cathy for guiding us through with such enthusiasm and clarity! 🤩

Super excited for this tomorrow! The perfect end to the week 🤩

Excited to join and follow #edpsychs on what already seems like a very welcoming and supportive platform 🤗
