Reading Coming of Age by @lucyfoulkes.bsky.social and it’s brilliant, wish I’d got to it sooner! Compassionate, informative and weaving a good story about adolescence🙏

#Lab24 was great, inc. many reunions from school, first job, first role in the party etc but this reunion was the best

#Lab24 didn’t prioritise Child Poverty to discuss, so my motion will be referred to the National Policy Forum, but maybe, just maybe might inc. awareness in the right places of the psychological impact of poverty in schools 🙏 #childpoverty

Text of motion inc:
This conference welcomes the Child Poverty Taskforce & recognises the findings & implications of psychological research including:
the interaction of poverty & mental health for children & families;
poverty, inequality & uncertainty threaten our basic psychological need to feel: safe; able to make decisions about our life; connected; & valued.
the impact of financial instability on stress, mental “bandwidth” & decision making; & better understanding of this would reduce shame, e.g. around budgeting & other choices.
the impact of living with poverty on children’s language, capacity to direct their attention, problem solve & socialise at school.
that to reduce the impact of child poverty, we must reduce the stigma/shame for people living in poverty.(because of the above) reducing poverty is also a mental health & special educational needs intervention.
Include in the Taskforce experts by experience and psychologists; & incorporate psychological research.

Eek, excited to be off to #Labourconference & a motion on #childpoverty accepted (small matter of priorities ballet and compositing process to go), honoured to have the #DECP acknowledge it in the other place. Do I need to go back on to follow what’s going on? Or enough #Lab24 chat here?

Not above irrational belief that I can influence a football result by drinking from my lucky #Spurs mug #COYS
