@zahraslife Perfect, thank you very much 😊

[Dr Dannika Agyeman @DrDAgyeman]

@zahraslife Thanks for creating this helpful graphic Zahra. I was just chatting with some colleagues about our upcoming equality awareness scheme meeting with schools & wondered if it would be okay to share this graphic in the presentation please?

I’m not sure if others feel similarly but I wouldn’t want this worry to paralyse us from having important discussions. I drew this, as I find images less confrontational than words, in the hope to raise reflections about what this means for us supporting UKschools 2/3 #twitterEPs

Wonderful CPD day at the Skylakes conference having an amazing Dynamic Assessment training refresher. Such an inspiring training session with Fraser Lauchlan and Clare Daly. I'm excited to find new ways to bring DA and DA principles into my practice 🙌🏾

Let's be unequivocally clear:

"All schools should provide:
Unrestricted access to a toilet, whenever the need arises. This means no school should have a policy of not allowing learners to use the toilet during lesson times."

"JK told The Voice about an incident at his old school. “I got a detention for wearing a blue surgical face mask back when Covid started and I got a detention after that.

@GMB Locking toilets to reduce instances of vaping is a terrible solution. If they really want to vape in school they'll find a way. Then all the pupils who have medical needs, those on their period, and pupils that need sensory break or to regulate their emotions are going to suffer.

Absolutely incredible atmosphere at #LondonPride.

The love, energy and joy - infectious. Proud to be a part of the @BPSOfficial contingent again, a privilege to rep psychologists and EPs.

Can we stop holding higher expectations for children’s behaviour, organisational skills and social skills than most adults could meet consistently each day. They’re not developed. They’re not adults, that’s the reason they’re at school… are we ok? 🤦🏻‍♀️ #edutwitter #twittereps

1/ I often read, see, hear EPs discussing evidence-based practice and am frequently confused at the linguistic and semantic loops that occur because evidence is consistently assumed to *only* or *just* mean 'research findings'... #TwitterEPs @Rob_Briner
