It was great to get out today and run a workshop at the SEND conference at Eastwood Hall alongside my wonderful colleague Jo. Really appreciate the reflective conversations we were able to have 🤩💚

@BHAHorseracing Done thanks!

[Rowan Gaffney @Rowan_Gaffney]

@BHAHorseracing please can some get in touch? Getting very little response via phone or email. Apparently I owe money I knew nothing about and I need to talk to someone. I’ve been trying to resolve this since February and all I’m getting is more letters in the post 😕

Christine McGuinness: Unmasking My Autism….definitely worth a watch. What a brave woman 🤩

[Rowan Gaffney @Rowan_Gaffney]

Supporting with GCSE chemistry revision today….. I earned some auntie brownie points. Organic chemistry not my strong point. Good job she wants to study A Level psychology, I might be more use there 💪🥰

[Rowan Gaffney @Rowan_Gaffney]

@Queena_Nina Amazing work Nina! 💪 It doesn’t seem that long since we were training! 🥰

@ashleightheaep @NottsEPS @NottsCC_VS Good luck Ashleigh, you’ll be amazing xx

New to Notts EPS, I was lucky enough to join a group of lovely colleagues to work on this in the last few months. It’s something that has been carefully produced over a long period of time, well before I joined the service, and a highlight of my new job 🥰

#TwitterEPs we've been working on something to share with our settings across Nottinghamshire, our Principles of Communication Framework. A big thank you to @GlasgowEPS and @nottm_eps for sharing their work in this area and inspiring us! ✨

@ashleightheaep @dr_treisman Wow Ashleigh these are fab 🤩🌟🥰

This evening I finally got around to opening Atlas of the Heart by Brene Brown. It has been sat on the coffee table too long. What a fabulous book I can’t wait to get stuck in!

[Rowan Gaffney @Rowan_Gaffney]

It’s a goodbye to the lovely lot at northants. Time for a rest after a rather manic few weeks before starting the next chapter. It would have helped if I turned off the alarm this morning! 😂

[Rowan Gaffney @Rowan_Gaffney]

Just watched ‘split up in care - life without siblings’ on BBC iPlayer 😢 worth a watch if you haven’t seen it 💔

[Rowan Gaffney @Rowan_Gaffney]

@Timinwinchester @LidlGB Thanks for this…… I’m writing an advice but just asked my mum to pop up to Lidl. Thanks to a funny video call she bought that and another game! 😂

[Rowan Gaffney @Rowan_Gaffney]

@Queena_Nina How lovely 🥰 glad it went well 🙌

[Rowan Gaffney @Rowan_Gaffney]

Some days remind me why I wanted to become an EP. A lovely morning working directly with a young person and positive feedback on a recent solution circle. Really grateful with how much staff engaged, comments included ‘it’s all about relationships’ and ‘showing we care’ 💪🙌🥰
