Then in recognition that many children and adults at risk are relying on community and voluntary sector to survive due to inadequate statutory sector resourcing perhaps actually implementing the recommendations of the existing reviews in health and social care would be helpful!

[SEN Reform NI @SENreformNI]

Health Minister @mikenesbittni saying 'reach out to services' to parents of children with disabilities shows a complete disconnect. Waiting lists for a disability social worker – the gatekeepers to services – are several years long. A nice soundbite, but far from reality.

[Department of Health @healthdpt]

Health Minister Mike Nesbitt has announced plans to improve services for children with disabilities.

The plans involve increasing short breaks capacity and expanding family, therapeutic and behavioural supports in the community.

We need to think deeply about the society and culture we have created which sees a NI femicide rate twice that of Britain.

In complete awe of the tenacity of @shakespeare_d to fight for her son Harry’s rights, and those of other children across the UK, against the use of restraint in schools.

This remains an urgent human rights issue and it happens ever day, up and down the country.

When working with young people,they need to feel like the people around them are on their side and have their best intentions at heart. Building relationships is absolutely essential.🧠🌱

[Gerry🧠🌱 @gerrydiamond71]

Behaviour is communication and communication is everything. A young person can't always verbally communicate what is wrong,or how they're feeling, but their behaviour never lies.They do not consciously plan to come into school and misbehave.🧠🌱

Start of the lessons learnt from reviewing Concepta’s papers

Safeguarding is not just about what you do but how you do it
Understanding you are engaging with someone who is in pain / frightened and your words can assist their healing or make it hurt more

[Liz Greer @Beth110877]

These recommendations must be adhered to in all schools to prevent unnecessary, trauma inducing restraint and seclusion in our schools!

[Stoma Babe @stomababe]

I’m fed up stoma bags not being available to purchase in public places like chemists and supermarkets. They’re an essential item for ostomates like sanitary ware is for women. So why must they only be accessed through a prescription service? It’s inconvenient and ableist.
