Powerful presentation from @_whitneyec at KRSCP conference “Journey to Exclusion” and the importance of having hope and fighting for young people’s right to learn and grow. Great to see you again! #reduceexclusion

Helpful blog from @YvetteStanley18 on the @Ofstednews distinction between the language of 'Contextual Safeguarding' and extra-familial harm and the relevance of school, peer, community and family contexts for increasing safety during adolescence

@ChelseaRenehan1 @WardellR @myvoicemerton @PISCIC @HindleapWarren @KMBraund @metpoliceuk I think it was a matter of “right, we have to do this” because that was the rule we all agreed- adults do what is expected of young people to do. It also shows that this was quite a moment of exhaustion!

[Roberta Evans @dr_robertaevans]

Awesome weekend with young people & colleagues! Drills, archery, mud trials, scary tunnels, zip wire and yummy meals - where everyone took part in everything 🤜🤛 Ended with forming key aspects of a funding bid. Thank you @myvoicemerton @PISCIC @WardellR @KMBraund @MPSMerton

[Roberta Evans @dr_robertaevans]

@ChelseaRenehan1 Same!

Great weekend , exploring what it means to have a successful service as a young person, exploring the woods and mini rivers, and finally conquering fears and planning services. Very successful for our #youngresidents And decision makers. @PISCIC @vlinder_uk @WardellR @KMBraund

[Roberta Evans @dr_robertaevans]

Fantastic team building experience - all adults and young people did every obstacle, challenge and muddy dare. Brought the joint work to another level.

[PersonalIndependence @PISCIC]

A very determined team - partnerships - decision makers - engagement...we could go on! Thank you to these super women for putting in a shift over the weekend 😀😇 #YouthEngagement #MLC @KMBraund @WardellR @ChelseaRenehan1 @vlinder_uk @myvoicemerton @MPSMerton @MPSSallyBenatar

What the actual F***!! 1. Mark Field assaulting a protester walking past him. 2. Everyone else just sitting around while it happens. 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

@WardellR This is really precious - and you took the time to post this at 5am in the midst of long full days of inspection!! Thanks for sharing.

@JadeLallyT69 Same emotions for me! Didn’t think I could due to medical history & didn’t find out till 3mths, during last year of doctorate. Returned to work too soon- nothing physical. Awe, love & struggle as a mum. Take all offers of help! It’s costly & hard but so so worth it. All the best.

@carlenefirmin I just had an evening with friends discussing the reality of being on the edge of a murder at any time and the enormity of daily effort for staff to keep doing the good work they do and me trying to convince them it makes a difference. Not all children will die. We have to hope x
