A dearly loved local school, which is widely upheld by parents and carers as embodying inclusion and belonging, is threatened by closure. The consultation costings won’t show the negative impacts ripping through the communities it represents. @CarolineLucas
This is Power & Control MH units are allowed to have over loving, devoted parents that dare to complain about their child’s abuse & neglect whilst inpatient.
@ClaireCNWL Why is this power & control allowed ? shutting parents & families off from contact is beyond damaging/evil.👇
Jessie Eastland Seares, 19, died whilst an inpatient at a Brighton mental health hospital in 2022.
She was autistic & had complex mental & physical health needs.
An inquest found that systemic failures in health & social care contributed to her death.

Our lives are changed forever, but most of all Jessie lost her life unnecessarily and avoidably, at such a young age. Tomorrow would have been her 21st birthday. We should have been celebrating and having fun, but instead we are grieving
Full statement https://t.co/wc5FtbNrdQ
"Instead of parent-blaming, they should be looking hard at their own actions and damage they are causing to families, who want to work with them and are desperate for some compassionate support and help." @EastlandKate
@EastlandKate & Andy have published this statement following the damning & unanimous jury verdict in Jessie’s inquest. There are no words to describe to horror of the inquest, the accusations from so called services trying to smear family to distract from their failings
The coroner said there was a "totally inadequate level of community treatment" for people with autism.
Another LA failure!
This keeps happening, ask why no one is ever prosecuted?

Not a surprise to those in the know, but huge co-occurrence of hypermobility and fibromyalgia with neurodivergence.
Sadly, those who need to know because they can refer etc frequently don't.
@EastlandKate Many failures in phycistric hospitals simply because staff are not trained in the needs of thease people. .physiatrists have no idea how to treat people with autism learning disabilities. Thease places are forensic only
Doctors need to stop.creating harm on the vunerable.
I hated being passed between consultants, it was clear in some cases that community, home treatment and ward consultants disagreed over diagnosis as well as treatment. It’s hard to try and form working relationships with three people
I don't understand how anyone seeing this and the multitude of other evidence can continue to engage in any practices "for Ofsted". If there is no benefit to learners, you are simply feeding a machine that is now utterly out of control. We need to collectively say no.
East Sussex County Council failed this beautiful young girl so many times.
Local Authorities are failing so many vulnerable children.
No family should loose their child through neglect.

Will follow the lead on @EastlandKate and Jessie's family response to the coroner's inquiry. But whilst I am glad the coroner will be raising questions on why the 2021 Health and Social Care Committee haven't been implemented nationally, what about the local failures? RIP Jessie.
