Well this was completely amazing. So humbled to know Caroline- you have done it again! Please go and see this if you can. Definitely worth a last minute dash down the M1 from Hull to see.
May god forgive all the little Marys in us x

I’m looking to harness the connective power of sharing bedtime stories in dual (home) languages with mum+preschooler victims of DA in refuge context.
Looking for story books and research. Anything out there?@suzannezeedyk @@MichaelRosenYes

GOOD NEWS!
Those of you who wanted to be updated about my complaint to the DfE concerning their training, which recommended the workforce uses:
Time out
Withholding toys as a 'consequence'
The term 'tantrum'...
I met with the DfE this morning & all this TOXIC NONSENSE has gone!

Nearly 50% of schools may have to cut #mentalhealth support but why are schools expected to cover the cost of #counselling from an #education budget in the first place?
Another blow for chilren with #aces

Many of you will know I’ve spent much of my working life highlighting violence against women & children. Libby was a beautiful, deeply loved daughter sister granddaughter & friend. She was murdered by someone whose sexual deviancy was escalating. #libbyareyouhomeyet on @skytv

Loads of people have sent this tweet from Charles Spencer, brother of Diana Spencer, on to me. They are hopeful it means we can keep looking at the suffering caused by early boarding school. I have commended him for his courage in speaking aloud.

@CarolineBirdUK My friend said she wanted to be a “colourer-inner” . She became Head of Early Years at her school. 🤣

[Suzanne Zeedyk @suzannezeedyk]

So - what is going to happen in the coming Cost of Living Crisis is that…understandably stressed parents are going to find it harder to co-regulate children’s stress. Children’s behaviour will thus become more dysregulated. That will affect teachers & classrooms & schools.

[Suzanne Zeedyk @suzannezeedyk]

When you blame the poor, you give yourself the entitlement of ceasing to be curious about their suffering.

[Susie Steel @SteelSusie]

@TheLemonBowl_ Why are you measuring success by the man’s response? This feels like an advertisement from the 1950s!
Heard of feminism much????

[Upstart Scotland @UpstartScot]

Great coverage from @ScotNational of the proposed motion to SNP conference 2022. Excellent tha the idea of a kindergarten stage attracting so much attention #PlayIsTheWay!

“I am not saying all this because I want everyone to feel sorry for the Trump-Kushners, by the way. I just think it explains a lot. If these kids had had a few more hugs, the world might have been spared the worst of their shenanigans.”

Looking forward to reading such a useful and timely resource @marymered @LucyChiddick @UK_ACEs

The much awaited Trauma Informed Education Settings Research Insight Report is now ready. I hope you love it and use it to add to your discussions with those who simply don't get it!

TY West Yorkshire for investing in this wisdom & for sharing so freely

[Susie Steel @SteelSusie]

@_LisaCherry Absolutely- that lanyard can be like a glass wall preventing authentic connection. It seems to be more about protecting the professional than helping anyone.

[Susie Steel @SteelSusie]

I’m at the Womens Aid National Conference looking for others to talk to about working with the younger children- want meet up 11:15am Friday in the courtyard? #WAConf2022

[Susie Steel @SteelSusie]

@_LisaCherry @UK_ACEs Yes it’s too hot for that 😬

[Susie Steel @SteelSusie]

@_LisaCherry thank you so much again for your inspiring keynote in Hull last week. I was talking to someone at a PRU who said Children We Care For do better in PRUs than others. Is this something you have found? @UK_ACEs

[Susie Steel @SteelSusie]

@_LisaCherry @UK_ACEs Absolutely. However, for some reason there are some schools that are ending up permanently excluding kids for wearing white socks- well that is where it started but then it escalated. I do hope that understanding about #aces and #trauma changes hearts and minds and policies!
