@Wonderbly An estimated 50,000 children in the UK are deaf. My son is one of them. Can I ask why hearing aids / cochlear implants aren’t featured as a personalisation option on this book, the same as glasses are? They are visible from someone’s side profile @NDCS_UK 🦻
@nottsfire hello, do you have any leaflets that can be put on cars who park in such a manner that would prevent a fire engine getting through? Or can you offer any suggestions? I struggle to get my small car through sometimes. Thanks!
@davidwalliams my son Freddie absolutely loves your books. It would be amazing to see a character who wears hearing aids included in one in the future 🫶🦻
I bet every time you’ve victim blamed a woman and said, ‘why didn’t she just leave?’
You hadn’t considered ‘incase he ties up her and her family and kills them all with a crossbow’, as one of the options.
We know for most women, the most dangerous moment in abuse is when they try to leave. You are most likely to be seriously attacked or killed as you leave, or just after you leave.
That was certainly true for me. Twice. One time resulted in lifelong injuries. Both resulted in police investigations and arrests. Just from choosing to end the relationship.
So next time you learn that a woman is stuck in abuse and can’t/won’t leave, maybe reserve your judgement and consider how much risk she knows she is at.
We need a new start for mental health. The new government has a critical opportunity to build #AMentallyHealthierNation, and it’s vital they take it.
The first step will be delivering a mental health strategy – we’ve set out what this could look like: https://t.co/d5L35bKIzZ
Really?! No BSL interpreter for this moment of national importance @Keir_Starmer?
This shows a lack of respect for the UK’s deaf BSL users, who deserve to be able to have this historic information at the same time.

A sobering fact to start Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week but a critical one that needs highlighting to show how vital the need is for intervention and support at such a crucial stage of life.

Great to attend a webinar today hosted by @MMHAlliance where the findings from the ASPEN study (women’s experiences of attempted suicide in the perinatal period) were presented. The study paper is linked below.
