@CarolynEyre The prospect of caseholding Children in Need under distant "supervision" of a local authority team?

I await the WTtSC consultation response with trepidation

There is no formula for writing/recording/communicating info about young people in a trauma-informed way but @InnovateProj research helped us identify some helpful things to consider. Check out this amazing graphic @MichiMathias created to help us share our learning 👇

Be aware. Be very aware.

Today we’re launching our brand-new leaflets for Norfolk: what safeguarding is, how to spot the signs and how to keep adults with care and support needs safe from abuse. Find them in six languages here https://t.co/RVyBuoFMpp

[Disability Safeguarding @SENsafeguarding]

@MrsPeakeHMPS @EDUchats @secretHT1 @Headteacherchat @Safernetwork How to create a culture where staff, students and families talk about safeguarding all the time, not just after things go wrong. Prevention and early help are better than cure/CP. Ask - do you feel safe? When don't you feel safe?

[Disability Safeguarding @SENsafeguarding]

An outstanding summary of "how to do good" as a DSL. Very realistic too

@lowingad @MrsPeakeHMPS @MrsAndrewsReay @EDUchats @secretHT1 @Headteacherchat Head teachers play a key role here… we’ve some useful advice on how to frame and support this at https://t.co/CHwWTIHLnp

[Adam Lowing @lowingad]

@MrsPeakeHMPS @MrsAndrewsReay @EDUchats @secretHT1 @Headteacherchat @Safernetwork The importance of a partnerhip with external agencies but also with that the need to challenge and the imperative for schools to know how to effectively escalate. It is vital to understand the thresholds and be able to communicate in a compelling yet objective, logic based manner

In support of #OutdoorClassroomDay our students took part in a range of activities around the campus. There was also a firepit, sparklers, planting bulbs and a community visit! All to remind us how important spending time outdoors is for our well-being and mental health. #tbt

[Learning Disability Wales @LdWales]

Unconscious bias can be a significant factor in the use of restraint and other restrictive practices. People from ethnic minority communities, autistic people and those with a learning disability or mental health issue are more likely to be restrained #RRNConf22 #Restraint

"It is now time for change. We need leaders and decision makers to take ownership of these outrageous failings to neurodiverse people.

While many skilled professionals work with children with disabilities, we're concerned about how some children have been abused in residential settings. Phase 1 of our national review looks into this so we can learn how to improve the safeguarding system: https://t.co/yDVrHc4YK9

[NASS @NASSCHOOLS]

An excellent piece about the challenges facing the SEND GP & DfE response. We’d add our voice for the call for a full analysis of consultation responses to be published BEFORE seeing the policy next steps.
