Thinking of you Richard on what should have/could have/would have been your 43rd birthday. And to those who said it was his time to go, that nothing could be learned, that the need for change belonged elsewhere etc, I hope that time has helped you dance to a different tune.

@GeorgeJulian @sarasiobhan @PinguG @paularawnsley Thank you George, you're so thoughtful. I'll spend the day cuddling my precious daughter & telling her about her wonderful Uncle Richard who she'll never meet. The wounds we carry from having to fight so hard for learning/change don't fade. Love to @sarasiobhan & @paularawnsley

@TuffreyWijne Hi @deborah_chinn , I would really appreciate a copy if that's ok? Could you please send to [email protected] Fabulous to see clinical psychologists focused on physical healthcare in people with a learning disability. Our role/responsibility re this isn't always recognised.

#Danny40Camino first snack break and it’s mars bars at the ready as we remember Richard Handley; some action shots too cc @PinguG @EmilyHandley_1

[Dr Emily Handley-Cole @EmilyHandley_1]

@GeorgeJulian @cph_milano @PinguG @hillsideliz @rayofthegarden @RosieNobbly Ah thanks so much team #Danny40Camino That is lovely, Richard would be so chuft! Wish we were with you. We're just settling down with a nice cuppa in memory of Danny. Got the teapot out as it's such a special occasion. Gone but never forgotten. Happy 40th Danny. Sending love xx

[Dr Emily Handley-Cole @EmilyHandley_1]

@GeorgeJulian @PinguG @RosieNobbly Don't worry, coke & mars were Rich's faves but he was happy with any chocolate and fizzy! Yes Richard would have been 40 this August too, just like Danny. The loss, pain & missed milestones continue long after the headlines. I'm have a pot of tea for #Danny40camino

We all have a responsibility to take action. Our 'Action from Learning' Report gives examples locally & nationally that are beginning to make a difference. We know there is more to do. Often it is the most basic things that have real impact. https://t.co/E4czn7h0QQ

@justicefornico @PinguG @M_F_Count I only heard about it last minute via a tweet from @GeorgeJulian I don't always look at twitter so it was quite lucky really!

[Dr Emily Handley-Cole @EmilyHandley_1]

Families have spoken eloquently today about living with the pain of guilt when their loved one has been harmed or died. @normanlamb asks "what kind of system do we have in place where families are left feeling guilty for gaps and failings in the system?". 💔 #AFairHearingConf

[Dr Emily Handley-Cole @EmilyHandley_1]

Looking forward to today's #AFairHearingConf hosted by @LeighDay_Law A very moving programme of speakers passionate about justice for people with a learning disability and their families. My lovely bro Richard & harrowing memories of @HandleyInquest will be in my thoughts today

[Dr Emily Handley-Cole @EmilyHandley_1]
