@sarasiobhan @kmachin Exactly, and this was in the bleeding psychosocial department, which is full of people bleating on about the importance of ‘the lived experience’ and don’t recognise their own hypocrisy!

Finally back on Twitter. Saddened to see so many more cases of preventable deaths and abhorrent treatment of people with disabilities. The tireless work from those trying to make our hospitals, schools and public places safer for all in the face of so much apathy is admirable

[Casey Burgess @cburge02]

@sarasiobhan @kmachin I had an argument with my tutor about this when I wasn’t allowed to cite your book in my literature review. Yet after my paper is marked someone could cite it, with my grand total of a year researching versus your academic, professional and personal experience! Utter nonsense

Disabled. Ill. Taken to hospital. No treatment.

Not even any observations: helping someone in a wheelchair partially to undress would have been too time-consuming.

She died.

Recently noticed that a local primary school has full #ChangingPlaces facilities in their disabled toilet. After initially being really impressed and proud of them, I suddenly realised that this is the first time I’ve seen these facilities in real life! Shocking how rare they are

Just discovered this blog. I know teachers feel stretched but some of these tips really wouldn’t increase workload and could make such a difference to SEN students. Good work @vicks_marshall https://t.co/JjIFtafvEp

@ChallengingPod something for you to discuss? So failing provisions are left in place until the very worst happens (repeatedly!) and outstanding provision ousted for cheaper option https://t.co/Dil4pINem1

Our Christmas break continues, but in the meanwhile @rapidrhino123 has written a right banger of a blog post in regards to Phillip Hammond's recent comments. https://t.co/BWmYONusCA give your eyes a good point at it

Was told earlier that medics get 1 hour of training about caring for learning disabled patients in 5 years. One hour...

#LearningFromDeaths David reminds vulnerable traumatised families have no knowledge. You have the answers. You also have legal teams, pr Teams, you control processes investigations. Total power imbalance often abused by NHS teams.

@GeorgeJulian Yes it took me by surprise actually, I’ve had another deadline so it’s been insane trying to fit it all in, I thought it would take ages to recruit. It’s going well though, the topic being what it is makes it hard but that also makes me really determined to do a good job for them

[Casey Burgess @cburge02]

@GeorgeJulian All finished and interviews have begun 👍

[Casey Burgess @cburge02]

@GeorgeJulian deliberately inflammatory, vindictive or aggressive but I also think it includes an element of behaving in a way that they wouldn’t usually behave in real life. The perceived protection of physical distance emboldens people to be even bigger arseholes than they would normally be

[Casey Burgess @cburge02]

Interesting discussion around language and terminology on #ChallengingPod Using the term 'challenging behaviours' to absolve yourself of responsibility rather than recognising that behaviour can be 'challenging' but also is a communication that you should be listening to (1/2) https://t.co/vQbWN4x7n2
