Opinions please 🙏
Is it part of a teacher's job to teach social and emotional skills?
Doing a bit of research for myself 😊

[Belinda Barber 🇦🇺 @BelindaBarber18]

Explain your thinking 😂

[Lisa Quigley @quigs1978]

@BelindaBarber18 Love this!

[Lisa Quigley @quigs1978]

@WordAware No, just supporting a young person to understand the process and prepare for the meeting. There are so many ways the issues with language and social communication could affect both sides of the conversation that's it hard to know where to start

Restorative Justice + language and social communication difficulties = a hard time all round.
What an eye opening piece of work this is turning out to be

@AnnaMar76416845 I just read this and felt sick. So many things going wrong here!! 😟

[Lisa Quigley @quigs1978]

@zarahsultana This makes me feel physically sick, imagine what could have happened!! It is shocking how little understanding remains within really important services about additional needs and how to work with these. Depressing

Really useful meeting with the Digital Team to think about adapting all the communication that is shared with their young people. Learning all round! Lots of new ideas in my brain as well as feeling helpful. A good day 😌

@neelamph This is great to hear! Xxx

@JacquiLearoyd I love your cheese posts! They brighten my day!

As a therapist, I'm not here to fix or make better. That notion implies something is 'wrong'. It sits within a medical model. I'm here to help others achieve outcomes that are meaningful for them; to respect autonomy; to facilitate, not direct.

[Anna Aldersley @AnnaMar76416845]

Leaving custody is really hard, jobs give not only funds to live but routine, a feeling of self-worth and a community around you. If you can help or know someone who can please do.

[Lisa Quigley @quigs1978]

@JacquiLearoyd @LockedUpLiving that, despite having such a large population. I'm going to work tomorrow to brainstorm!

[Lisa Quigley @quigs1978]

@JacquiLearoyd @LockedUpLiving I'm thinking mostly about the way you are involved with people on ACCTS and supporting staff and clients to think about reducing physical aggression and therefore the need for restraint.
