Not safety. Failure.
Education Authority Northern Ireland & Department of Health Northern Ireland knew.
Did nothing
.
Now disabled children lose vital support.

Disabled people need to hear this.
You’re not the problem. The system is.
Your body, your pace, your life, all valid.
This isn’t about sympathy. It’s about rights, respect and equality.

Final call 🔈 for candidates for @BelfastTrust Workforce Support Officer for Internationally-Qualified and Overseas Social Workers (Band 5) An exciting opportunity for someone who wants to support newcomers to NI to settle into workforce & make this their home! Please share 🙏
@cjtudor never seen so much padding since my Hokkas haha! 8 miles is amazing! These look lovely- let's hope that's not a permanent flaw and just a 'settling in' issue!
@cjtudor queen of suspense, and of last lines/endings to stories! still yet to ever figure an ending out before it happens!! ;) maybe 'The Burning Girls'...maybe!
@cjtudor great to see the books being put front and centre, not enough doing this- amazing author, and can't wait for what you write next (when/if you write next). THE OTHER PEOPLE has been read 3 times, and have read all your books. the best in the business!
Thank you to the Belfast Met students for providing free hair cuts for those presenting at breakfast this morning. Everyone was very thankful. #Support#Partnership
Three years ago today, The People’s Kitchen Belfast orgainised a mass march and rally to the City Hall to highlight the lack of services to those experiencing homelessness, fighting addiction and mental health issues. In the preceding 2 months, 15 people died by drugs.
The response from statutory bodies since, has been totally inadequate. Indeed, the situation with regard to homelessness has become worse 💔

And that’s a wrap on week 3 of the FAA summer programme. 45 YP enjoyed outdoor activities in Omagh, Belfast and Portrush. Memories made and fears conquered. 1 YP after 4 summers finally jumped into the water! Her swimming lessons from FAA have definitely helped @healthdpt
#NotDeadYet#NoToAS
People have said to me they'd rather be dead than have my disability.
Not out of cruelty, but misplaced empathy.
I love my life, I live my life and I value my life.
Being disabled isn't wrong. It just a different way of living to yours.

@AmandaShields86 that's ore than a mile a day (31 days!) so you did brilliantly- even doing 1 a day is great (intentional movement) and so beneficial for so many reasons- we could all do with being more intentional with walking and just 'being' :)
My @NUJofficial membership has arrived today. Feeling chuffed, an ambition of mine for years.
My first piece was an wxclusive report into the severe lack of wheelchair accessible taxis in Northern Ireland for @VIEWdigital.

After a day indoors marking assignments, I got some final steps in around the garden tonight for today's #MoveAMileADayInMay. I will never get tired of this view 🥰
