@UnitedStandMUFC From what I can work out (not having watched Royal Antwerp) this question has two answers: yes, for the future. No, for right now.

@tombennett71 And everyone in the education relationship (pupils, professionals, parents/carers) need to understand that it is about working WITH each other and that we will not be effective problemising each other.

[Peter Benyon @Benyonism]

@tombennett71 There are “causes” for the “symptom” of behaviour; to ignore the why for actions is diluting our impact. Education is not a panacea but CAN be a part of the solution. We love to think that behaviour is a choice but it is not that simple. We must enable and inform ourselves.

@OckendenPhoebe @DWPgovuk 21/🧵Zero change until young people with learning disabilities are no longer portrayed as undeserving of help. Current ethos is they are dodging work even when in full time education: as Phoebe is. Young people like her thrive with the right support. Why are Govt blind to this?

[Felicity Benyon @FelicityBenyon]

To say watching #MaternityBrokenTrust was incredibly hard would be a huge understatement.
I was permanently harmed, victim blamed & lied to.
I will never stop fighting for truth, justice & change.

Mansfield mother calls for toilets to be made 'stoma-friendly' https://t.co/BgfMdIxhi0

[Rob Sissons @RobSissons1]

Around 1 in 300 people have a stoma - what problems and barriers do they face? Well finding suitable accessible toilets is one and Felicity is on a mission to change that ...⁦@FelicityBenyon⁩ https://t.co/SyRrDAho1w

I fear James is correct - in a decade of working in obstetric units I worked with many excellent and dedicated clinicians, but also with some who through frankly misguided ideology and beliefs actively harmed mums and babies (and indirectly, their families)

[Peter Benyon @Benyonism]

@FelicityBenyon I believe that time will prove just how pertinent, “here and now” in the statement.

To have opened this statement to the public reeks of ignorance and complacency; clumsily emphasised by those three words.

There is no investigation or solution without the victims’ voices.

Today marks 1yr since @DOckendenLtd started her independent review in @NottmMaternity
We will continue the fight until maternity services at NUH are safe and accountability has been achieved. We deserve justice 💪

‘Inclusion is about affecting culture long term’ it is so important to ‘embrace a culture of difference in work with children and young people - ensuring everyone is on the same page is often the challenge’.

Intersectional Realities and inclusive leadership.
@DandA_inclusion loving it!! We need more of these conversations everywhere and all of the time!

[Peter Benyon @Benyonism]

Once we respect, whilst also understanding the limitations, of “I” then we can do the same with the process and product of “you” and “them”. Our own rigidity and attachment to our own theory of mind has, is and will be our downfall. Unless we change it.

“They preferred the invention <elaboration of the truth> because this invention expressed and corroborated their hates and fears so perfectly. It is just as well to remember that people are always doing this.” - James Baldwin in Notes of a Native Son

[Peter Benyon @Benyonism]

We need to value it because we need to value ourselves and others as the producers of facts and things within contexts. Then we can be free to change these facts and things as contexts change. Especially the context of “I”.
