This new Gov (UK) campaign is appalling.
It is ableist, childist, & ignorant to the emotional needs of young people.
As parents & professionals we need to speak up about it.

@Rachel_deSouza@educationgovuk Seeing my 13 year old broken by secondary school has changed my mind. We are 18m into him not attending school due to anxiety. The constant threat of punishments, continuous assessments and not letting children go to the loo when they need to have left him traumatised.
