Well done RCPCH Unite for standing your ground. In solidarity.

[Unite at RCPCH @UniteAtRCPCH]

Following our industrial action on 26 June, a meeting of the @RCPCHtweets Board of Trustees took place on Monday evening. We are pleased that subsequent to that meeting we received a new offer on staff pay from the College. 1/

Collectively they stand! Support the strike. #RCPCHStrike #RCPCH23

If you do one thing today, sign this. The brilliant @LeanneMaskell1 has set up this petition in recognition of the dearth of support for neurodivergent people.
Petition: Hold a Public Inquiry into pre and post diagnosis ADHD support. https://t.co/qQ8PlVSCsF

@MartinSLewis @Jeremy_Hunt @grantshapps Thanks Martin this is incredible work from you and the team 👏

The formal diagnosis stage for anyone who believes they are neurodivergent can be a time fraught with anxiety, it is important the process is executed with humanity.

Formal Diagnosis: I can't believe its not better. One dyslexics story. https://t.co/aFf4jdrYDz via @LinkedIn

School and college employers have to do more, they need to be an ally for neurodivergent teachers. #NeurodivergentTeachers #Inclusion #BeAnAlly

RT IF YOU ARE A STRIKING UNIVERSITY WORKER, POSTIE, TEACHER OR ANYONE ELSE ON THE PICKET LINE TODAY.

ALSO RT IF YOU BACK THEM.

Let’s cut beyond the media and show people they have mass support.

Great to join @RoehamptonUCU on their picket this morning. Solidarity to HE colleagues and best wishes for the remaining days of action Roehampton UCU.

[Jo Grady @DrJoGrady]

They said we were tired.

They said we were weak.

They said we couldn’t win a national ballot.

Today, 70,000 UCU members bring every university in the UK to halt.

I am proud to lead this union.

Onto the picket lines.

Standing with HE UCU members. Well done to @DrJoGrady for calling out the bullying tactics. To those who respond, "why pay, if they are not working" - no one in the middle of a recession unless necessary, is going to strike. It's necessary! #ucuRISING

[Jo Grady @DrJoGrady]

I NEED EVERY UCU MEMBER AND SUPPORTER TO RT THIS THREAD.

Threats of unfair and immoral pay deductions for taking part for action short of striking continue.

This thread exposes those universities that prefer to intimidate their staff than treat them with respect.

As we near the end of another academic year, let's not forget the stress of lesson observations. It is within the gift of all employer colleges to make the process as painless and accommodating for neurodivergent teachers. Find out more here: https://t.co/TwmuwiQi1O

This is a little piece I wrote on raising awareness of neurodivergent teachers, and how the FE sector could do more to accommodate and celebrate neurodivergent teaching professionals. #timeforchange #Neurodiversity #teachingprofessionals #disclosure

This week on our blog, Dr Annemarie O'Dwyer, the founder of neurodiverse insider, asks why so many neurodivergent teachers don't feel comfortable disclosing their status to colleagues and students - and how colleges can change that. https://t.co/JeocoYhhBl
