Chimamanda Adichie talks about the dangers of a single story. Oct 7th is a single story. This single story has been responsible for the murder of a child every hour, the starvation and torture of an entire group of people. 💔

One of my fave sessions to deliver for our Bristol TEPs this afternoon. Evidence-based practice. If you're interested in my ramblings about this I recorded an episode with @psychbites.bsky.social team a while ago open.spotify.com/episode/4cLA... #edpsychs #ebp

The irony, a 15 year old child was stripped of her British nationality & was not allowed to return home after being groomed into joining ISIS. And here we have a former lead of ISIS, al-Sharaa welcomed by the west with open arms and supported to becoming the president of Syria. Bonkers

I'm 💔Our family home in Syria was broken into & my uncle was mudered a week ago, his body is still there. Areas in Suwayda are still beyond the reach of humanitarian, human rights, and relief access, which remain under the control of forces ‘General Security’ #redcross #suwayda #Syria

The education select committee is about to hold session on school attendance where, says the committee, witnesses to be asked re unmet need among pupils with SEND, prevalence of mental health conditions, poverty, post-pandemic social attitudes. What about asking qs re what happens in schools?!

This is ethnic cleansing…I cannot believe no one is stopping this. Those who speak up are being silenced 💔 #Gaza

Awful

Larry the Cat never disappoints 🎤 🔥

I going to be controversial here! I’m not really concerned about what a punk group said at a music festival. Actually I’m very distressed by the idea that babies are dying because they are being purposefully denied formula milk.

Woohoo!

Not a surprise really, systemic racism is very much alive and kicking. The same trend with school suspensions and exclusions.

Time of year again!

Apparently we have a Labour Government…Sad times

🧠 An important read in TES today, raising awareness of DCD, a condition that affects around 5% of children but often goes unrecognised. Understanding it is vital for supporting motor, social, and emotional development in the classroom. 📰 Read more: www.tes.com/magazine/tea...

Levels of enjoyment, engagement and trust drop significantly in students' first year of secondary school, with long-term consequences for their academic performance and wellbeing. www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2025/may/...

Gosh this paper hits the nail on the head… “we argue that the replication crisis could be approached by paying more attention to the context conditions under which psychological realities and knowledge about these realities are being created”. All cognition and behaviour is in context. #EdPsychs

So my mum decided to try using Uber. Long story short, she downloaded the wrong app and has accidentally signed up as a driver

We are witnessing a genocide being live streamed in front of our very eyes & the silence and lack of action is shocking. What happened to “Never again” ? The Palestinians are living and witnessing terror every minute of their lives. I can’t even begin to imagine 💔

The brightest students from the most disadvantaged groups are 5x more likely to be excluded or arrested than their wealthier peers – highlighting the need for school policies that better engage them. www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2025/may/...

100% I’m forever arguing this and if we were to be neutral how can we address the inequality we see in our role everyday! I vow NEVER to be Neutral.

I am an Educational Psychologist. We work with children and YP. I am finding it completely incomprehensible that there are children being blown up, killed and imprisoned & our profession is silent. You can’t take a neutral stance on this. #edpsychs

Islamophobia is such an interesting term isn’t it? Considering that we define phobia as an irrational fear of something. My issue with the term is doesn’t capture the hate and targeted attacks Muslims are experiencing #edpsychs

Brexit Curse. NHS cancer patients denied life-saving drugs due to Brexit costs. Cost of importing new cancer drugs quadrupled. Shipping costs up 10 times. Brexit destroyed collaborative research. That wasn't on the side of the red bus. Save lives. Rejoin the EU.
