@ES_solicitors @NSPCC Yes the figures are alarming and abuse can ruin a childhood. But let's remember that it doesn't have to ruin a life.

[Serena Bradshaw @SerenaGoddards]

@wendyweb47 No. What he's saying is that if you don't like oranges eat peaches😉

[Serena Bradshaw @SerenaGoddards]

@becka_newell Becka don't be disheartened. You have a genuine interest in other people and that is not offensive at all! Curiosity, dialogue and genuine interest are essential (unless you want to spend a life with our own clones.)

[Serena Bradshaw @SerenaGoddards]

As a child in the 60's I was coloured. Then I was told to say I was Brown. Next had to call myself Black. Now apparently I have to say I'm "BAME". And all I want is to be able to tick the box that says "BRITISH".

[Dr. Jessica Taylor @DrJessTaylor]

Thank you so much for this @JahnineDavis - this is precisely why I don’t use the term BAME and I cringe every time white professionals use it.
It’s PC language for ‘non-white’ and it lumps hundreds of ethnicities into one homogenous group.

[Serena Bradshaw @SerenaGoddards]

@Jliffe is this of interest Jan?

[Jack Tomlin @jackltomlin]

Forensic mental health people! We are editing a book about the experiences of minority, maginalized or typically forgotten groups in secure or prison mental health. We are looking for more contributors to write chapters by the end of 2020. Please get in touch! Below for more info

@DavidLeanLeano Done!

[Serena Bradshaw @SerenaGoddards]

@Keirwales @RCOT_MH @OT_Expert Yup! T-model style person-centred NHS: "You can have any colour as long as it's black". A compromise and improved efficency. Yeayyyy😉
But realistically, if the service is to remain free at the point of delivery we need to manage expectations perhaps?

So very true:

@monobrow2000 @Keirwales @RCOT_MH @OT_Expert It's a pity that more qualitative evidence of value isn't presented. Especially in mental health where evidence comes in the form of what the NHS decides to measure. And these measures don't reflect what matters to the client.

[Serena Bradshaw @SerenaGoddards]

@thebloke Me too!

[Serena Bradshaw @SerenaGoddards]

@RDWimp @telford_gurl Ah thank you!

[Serena Bradshaw @SerenaGoddards]

@youngjoanna1 Again it's lazy on the part of the funders--unless they do a really critical evaluation of common factors?

[Serena Bradshaw @SerenaGoddards]

@earnestfeast We need to stop this labelling!

[Serena Bradshaw @SerenaGoddards]

@FinolaKelly1 @SuffolkLCAudrey The problem with "ethnicity" is that it's a lazy way of grouping individuals regardless of their culture.

[Serena Bradshaw @SerenaGoddards]

@AdeleIsla Is it an unintended consequence of "trying-to-do-the-right-thing (without thinking it through?)"

[Serena Bradshaw @SerenaGoddards]

@MPrinParr Yes I think I should start doing that too. I think I'll start a BAN BAME petition too

[Serena Bradshaw @SerenaGoddards]

@herrena Hey Thank you Herrena!

[Serena Bradshaw @SerenaGoddards]

@TubunMuzuru Agreed!
