Loved learning about brilliant work done by @djrgrey.bsky.social and @katrinanavickas.bsky.social at #HertsImpactSymposium2025 today. New additions to my vocabulary: “baby farm” and “settlement house”.

Our first session of the day was entitled ‘From Barriers to Bridges: The Journey to Social Change’, and we heard from four academics about everything from filmmaking in prisons to the impact of forest school on pupils with SEND. #HertsImpactSymposium2025 #ResearchInMotion #HertsResearch

Our second session was entitled ‘Walking and Talking: Building Communities on the Road to Impact’. Five academics shared impact projects on everything from a podcast about close reading literature to the experiences of older male carers. #HertsImpactSymposium #ResearchInMotion #HertsResearch

YES! "Session Zero would be the part at the very beginning of the project, where everyone involved shared their hopes and aspirations for the study, as well as discussing things they might prefer not to discuss, or boundaries they want to set" @elspethma.bsky.social @louca-mai.bsky.social

"Systemic problems need tackling urgently to protect the health of pregnant women, new mothers, & babies while in criminal justice settings" Congratulations @midwifeteacher.bsky.social @drtanyacapper.bsky.social & colleagues on a great @bmj.com paper 👏

Last year, 229 pregnant women were held in prison. Community based alternatives are essential to protect mothers & babies. Our paper published today @bmj.com highlights the need to stop incarcerating pregnant women @drtanyacapper.bsky.social @birthcompanions.bsky.social @womeninprison.bsky.social
