I become massively aware of my care experience when I go through “normal” life events.
I’ve just moved house again, and the lack of support I have in comparison to others is massively apparent to me. Even more so since losing all support from my corporate parents.
Thank you, Baroness Bull for raising the important issue of sufficient childcare provisions for disabled children during yesterday's debate in the House of Lords.
In case anyone is wondering why Nadhim Zahawi isn't being prosecuted for tax fraud, it's simply that there is one rule for us and another for everyone else. Hope that clarifies the situation.
Today marks 1 whole year since Govt set up the ACRS Scheme to resettle Afghan refugees. Yet despite promising 20,000 resettlements, *not a single person* has been brought to the UK under pathway 3 this year. Govt's broken promises are costing lives - they must be held to account
Anonymous opinion piece from Social Work News, straight from the Gove/Narey playbook. The anon author laments the student’s knowledge of the formation of the welfare state, radical SW & “about 80” theories, perceived to be learned at the expense of “hard social work skills”. 🧵

Got to admire Olivia Atwood, get flown first class to Australia, have lunch with Chris Moyles, skydive, then leave and go home, collecting £115k salary on the way. Obsessed. #ImACeleb#ballerMove
@ScotRail Any plans for the coastal line between Helensburgh and Dumbarton? Peak time for the weather seems to be when the commuter train is running. Thanks!
Another #Panorama exposure of appalling practice with people in Mental Health/Learning Disability facilities. So upsetting. I see we've moved on from #WinterbourneView#YewTrees and #WhorltonHall. Why are standards of excellence so low that people are praised for basic human care
😬 what’s worse?
Comparing a neurodiverse student to another neurodiverse student with the same diagnosis or comparing a neurodiverse student to all other students in a mainstream class? 🧐
I can’t quite make my mind up 😬🙈 #SEND#inclusion 🤷🏻♀️😩
