I qualified as an EP in 2010. Since then year by year preventative council services have been cut further and further back. As well as austerity causing misery and hardship for families, rather than saving money, costs have spiralled. Waiting until crisis point to intervene is costly and immoral

It was a brilliant session, thanks so much for organising this for us Max 😊

Interesting thread in the light of ‘school readiness’ articles today. Can any of my followers shed light on Kindred Squared?

I'm doing a free giveaway to celebrate the publication of my latest book! Like and repost to enter (UK only). Winner announced on Sunday. See the link below to find out more about the book. #freebie #giveaway

Well that was crackin’. Genuine. #GavinandStacey Merry Christmas blueskyers

6/ Incredibly, over the last few years around £200,000 has been raised for homeless charities as a result of this thing. So, this year, if you're enjoying the pix, you could fling a few quid to Centrepoint via this link: gofund.me/637d21d0

Me: *stunned by the final episode of Wolf Hall, opens Bluesky to praise it* Bluesky:

Any help on this from #edusky or #thisisAP also appreciated!

We’re almost there #edpsychs! Can anyone recommend a podcast or reading around psychologists working in #PRUsAP or SEMH settings?

Love this - and imagining other #edpsychs also pondering cultural fairness when doing their daily NYT puzzle!

‘Simply sit with me in the dark…’ Dr Natalie Carpenter on the empathy and connection needed to bear the unbearable. www.bps.org.uk/psychologist...

Mesmerising performance of the Lehman Trilogy today. ‘We get them to spend money they don’t have on things they don’t need’

“The number of children falling into SEND labels is overwhelming, but what if it is not the child but the system? What if we caused this?”

Word of this morning is ‘procaffeinate’: to put everything on hold until you’ve had sufficient amounts of coffee.

Great to see more #edpsychs joining Bluesky every day! Please write a bio or post letting us know you’re an EP (or TEP/AsEP/psych grad) to encourage following back 😄

Right then. I think we've reached a watershed point in the waging of culture wars, and Conservatives ought to see it, and act on it. I wrote this today: What kind of person would drag autistic children into the culture wars? The Kemi Badenoch kind www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Powerful parent testimony. System reform and culture change needed, so it was good to hear the recent open letter from the AEP and others referred to #edpsychs

NEW POST: The SEND “Emergency” debate: scrap safety valve, write-off high needs debt and stop piling trauma on to families- a recap of what happened in Richard Burgon parliamentary debate www.specialneedsjungle.com/send-emergen...

Hoping the #TwitterEPs can recreate something special here #edpsychs
