Feels surreal but here it is, my first published piece of research! Full of my favourite things - young people, education and adoption all under the umbrella of school belonging. Let me know what you think!

Had a really powerful conversation today about a concept that I find very helpful and important- social pain. So many layers to this but often I speak about it as the emotional and relational pain which can sometimes come from experiences like rejection, exclusion, disconnection, humiliation, loneliness, bullying, betrayal, or feeling chronically misunderstood.

There are some studies which suggest that some of the same brain regions can be involved in physical pain can also become activated during experiences of social rejection or exclusion.

We were also talking about how social pain is not always about one specific “dramatic” event. Sometimes it is the steady drip or weathering of micro moments such as feeling unseen, feeling different, being misunderstood and much more.

“SEND: Opening resource bases ‘risks making you a magnet school’” Inclusion must not be optional. It must be defined by national criteria that can’t be fudged when Ofsted comes round—and heads must face losing their jobs if they fail to meet them.

I don’t think as much attention has been paid to implementing the curriculum as it has to the pedagogy to teach it.

It’s a bit like going into a restaurant where all the effort has gone in to making it look amazing..

@tombennett71 I know how important research is to us all. Please could you share the research you have based this post on?

Repost this video, show it to your mates, to your family and to the person sat next to you at your stadium this weekend. @OfficialBHAFC ❤️

[StefP @CharlieDrake67]

Great piece by @justinesmithUK highlighting the inequality for our young people who are care experienced. Young people who have not been in care are also three times more likely to have passed their maths and English GCSE than those who have.

[StefP @CharlieDrake67]

What a great initiative! 👏🏼 How can this be rolled out further?

As a parent of a teen going through mocks right now, this speaks straight to my heart. When will education (ie policymakers) sit up and notice?
