"Remember that it takes a lot of courage and bravery for a child to tell their parents they are gay, so try to show them the respect, support and love that they deserve."

Kate shares what what she learnt about how to support her son when he came out.

IDEAS?

I love this question, posed to me in a webinar today:

"How can we encourage teachers to value play as therapeutic throughout the children's school career?"

Your ideas please?

[Pooky Knightsmith @PookyH]

IDEAS PLEASE:

“Hi any suggestions for a child with ASD and extreme sensory sensitivity in hospital? Hospital only has showers and child hates the sound of the water on the tiles! Would towels on floor maybe help? Any other suggestions?”

With school closures looking to continue until September, we must all be more aware of signs of abuse and neglect within homes and our communities.

Self-esteem comes from within you but is influenced by lots of things and lots of people.

It's really important to have healthy self-esteem because it affects everything about our thoughts, feelings and behaviour.

Tips for improving your self-esteem👇

So short sighted at a time when parents, families and young people need extra help & support from expert health visitors & school nurses! Not to mention the lack of compassion in devaluing important frontline professionals @iHealthVisiting @CheryllMa

[Dr Ruth Oshikanlu MBE RN RM RHV QN FRCN FAAN FRSPH @RuthOshikanlu]

@davidamunday More than ever before, we need more health visitors and school nurses to support the fallout from the pandemic. Prevention & early intervention are the key to reducing health inequalities & inequities! Why do decision-makers keep doing the same thing& expecting different results?

[Lowty76 @CarolineLowton]

@DredgeSandra @SAPHNAsharonOBE Very much overlooked, misunderstood and undervalued as to the passion, dedication, knowledge & experience. We are advocates for the voice of the child, supporting in many ways with a wide variety of health issues. Wish we were valued more by others & of course .Gov @MattHancock

[Sandra Dredge @DredgeSandra]

School nurses continue to work hard supporting children and young people , safeguarding those in need and planning and organising their work for when schools return. Fantastic Public Health resource often over looked.

Today we're testing our new 'Life through a lense' trauma and vulnerability training before it's formally rolled out at Lancs Police. It's about doing what we can to make interactions with the public as positive as they can be. #traumainformed @DCSSueClarke @LancsPolice

After a long campaign, we’re so pleased the government listened and has ensured the Domestic Abuse Bill will recognise children as victims of domestic abuse in their own right: https://t.co/mjuYdntcuo
