“In order to work effectively with the family, I needed to stop trying to find the hero & the big bad wolf in the story. I needed to exchange certainty for curiosity”

Fantastic article on @edpsyuk about the power of empathy and the need for regular peer supervision. #TwitterEPs

@tescomobile having waited 2 weeks for a promised SIM card with data, minutes & texts from you (via the Red Cross), our Ukrainian refugee family has now received a PAYG SIM card (with paperwork re texts/data etc) with no bundle on it. What a welcome! 😬🤦🏼‍♀️Any advice?

@EleanorRylance @ukhomeoffice Awful system places families in awful situations. Family of 4:waiting 3 weeks. Despite applying at the same time,3 have visas,1 doesn't. Do they remain in unstable accommodation with 9 month old baby or leave 19 year old girl behind to travel solo when/if her visa comes? 😟

School can heal children, harm them & everything between. School can be a life-enhancing protective factor or a risk. We’re not therapists, as educators, but our power to do good or ill is greater than that of any therapist. Mental health is therefore inescapably our business.

@LlanilltudF Daniel has been painting pebbles as his creative challenge. Each one is a planet apparently... 😄
