Episode 4 looks at liminality and work, moving from one work culture (the police), to another (gymnastics). Join myself and Geraldine Costello as we talk through leaving one space and entering into another completely different one while focusing on safeguarding. www.buzzsprout.com/462859/episo...

Just in case you missed my recent 3-part series on the dilution of trauma informed practice, I've added all the links on one page! I've loved everyone's thoughts, additions & acknowledgments on these posts. We've never needed to get this right more than right now www.lisacherry.co.uk/blog/the-dil...

In Ep 3 of my series on liminality, I am in conversation with Tracey Smith exploring how liminal transitions shape teacher identity, belonging and retention, with a focus on working class teachers navigating middle class norms. #teacher #education Listen here: www.buzzsprout.com/462859/episo...

A day on belonging, mattering and rituals with the gorgeous people of Dorset Virtual School... A perfect way to end the week ♥️

No filter. Just a beautiful picture of a frosty, crisp and sunny piece of the gorgeous English countryside. My morning walk... How can a day started like this be anything other than beautiful? #lifeisbeautiful #gratitude #nature #countryside

An important yet short announcement ♥️

I am really enjoying the rest of it! So easy to read but so much about real practice. Fantastic.

This is so good to hear but of course so much is needed. I feel passionately that education is a route out of prison. But of course, knowledge is power... The outrage felt when Grayling in 2014 banned books being sent to prisoners still lingers in my mind!

Reading that makes a difference.... What are you reading? #amreading #booksforpractice #makeadifference

Fab Pod! It was actually against the law to celebrate xmas in the 1600s! Seeing celebrating Christmas as a rebellion and an act of resistance is predictably appealing to me 🤣🤣🤣 Whatever today brings, I'm sending you wishes filled with love, hope and gratitude ❤️ open.spotify.com/episode/0wYo...

Dec '25 has been the month of strategies & guidance, so I have sought to highlight key points and also consider what the reports taken together collectively tell us about where the public sector is heading. Read more here: drlisacherry.substack.com/p/what-do-al...

What I find the most telling and indeed distressing about Bennett's defensive tirade in response to 'that report' is that there is no mention of the children impacted and harmed! AND it's not 1896! Not wamting to harm children is not an extreme view!

So when I received a comment on an article (written in Substack) entirely written by AI and then an email, almost entirely written by AI, I had to ask myself, is it not yet wirdely understood that AI interferes with authentic relationships? Read more here... open.substack.com/pub/drlisach...

I understand how inexperienced, nervous, #teachers who need paying can end up operating in harmful cultures. I get it. I don't like it. But I get it. But experienced senior leaders? Causing harm in this way? It's sadistic! #education #edusky www.tes.com/magazine/new...

I have long turned to nature when I need to feel small. When I need to understand that the trees were here before I was and that they will be here for a long time after, I head for the hills... Read more here: open.substack.com/pub/drlisach... #nature #cancer #healing #trees #myeloma

This is the book I've been waiting for. It elevates current frameworks & understandings of trauma informed approaches. It sits theory & practice firmly into the challenges our children experience in today's modern life with messages of hope & healing. Samana Saxton Senior Ed Psych amzn.eu/d/d8KxppX

What can we learn about belonging and mattering from argan oil? Bear with me... Read more: open.substack.com/pub/drlisach...

Organisations interested in thinking about the care of those who care, have traditionally focused on representation (who is in the room) rather than considering whether those in the room feel that they truly matter. open.substack.com/pub/drlisach...

@tdisney85.bsky.social can I ask, as I'm genuinely interested, what your research is starting to show up...

An excellent listen that raises deep questions for #education... open.spotify.com/episode/2rZv...

Well worth a read... offers a bit of myth busting 😉 www.gov.uk/government/p...

Excellent write from #SEND dad Diaries on the harm caused by #Gove on #education open.substack.com/pub/senddadd...

If only we lived in a society that raised us this way...

‘Weaving a Web of Belonging’ is available on Audible which is unusual so this delights me “It’s so great to see helpful books for social workers being made more accessible on Audible! I’ve found it so insightful to hear about unbelonging ❤️” Do you think there should be more audible books like this?

What are we NOT talking about in the #trauma space that we need to talk about more?
