It has been 6 years since the #disabled bad boys in #alternativeprovision paper was accepted for publication. Since then, AP has become a growing research area with these young people's voices as relevant today as they were then. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Trauma shapes the brain, but so does recovery. With the right support, safety & connection, the nervous system can heal, regulation can be learned, triggers can lose intensity& connection can create new patterns of safety. Healing happens in relationships, in self-compassion & in small steps forward

🧵1/7 Following on from yesterday’s post, adoptive parents often carry an invisible weight, managing trauma, advocating for support, and constantly adjusting to meet their child’s needs. But I wanted to add that when the system fails, that weight doesn’t just disappear.

✅The government should pursue its priority of developing a cross-government strategy to reduce child poverty, as deprivation is closely linked to SEND. ✅The National Curriculum Review should consider introducing national PSED assessments in early Key Stage 2 and early secondary school.

⚠️ The decline in young people’s mental health is one of the biggest challenges of our time. Alongside @cypmentalhealth.bsky.social, Young Minds & @cfyounglives.bsky.social, we’ve set out a costed plan of actions the Government must take now to turn the tide: tinyurl.com/2dusu7xd #FutureMinds

1. Increase investment in children and young people’s mental health services. 2. The full rollout of Mental Health Support Teams across England by the end of this Parliament. 3. The delivery of open access mental health services for children and young people in every community. 4. A comprehensive children and young people’s mental health workforce plan. 5. A rapid review to examine the causes of the rise in prevalence in children and young people’s mental health, and the ways in which our mental health system can respond better. 6. A long-term commitment to increase local government funding to support investment in prevention and early intervention

This. We need to stop walking around our fear of disability & accept humans are entirely diverse. 'Normalise' difference instead of fearing it. It still seems to be the biggest taboo to break. #FlipTheNarrative 💜

The disability community is the world's largest minority and the only one that anyone can join at any moment.

The UK has one of the highest retirement ages in the world, the lowest pension in Europe, some of the longest working hours in Europe, one of the lowest minimum wages, the highest energy costs, the biggest profits, and the lowest taxes for the richest. It all needs to change.

In 1970 the UK and Norway were roughly equal, almost no debt, and owned all their Public Services. Now the UK owns nothing and has £3tn of debt. While Norway still owns everything and has the equivilant per person of £10tn. That's how privatisation 'works'.

Banning knives, limiting their sale or remodelling their tips so they are not so sharp all makes sense - but the real answer to youth violence is the development of more caring and supportive communities, investment in youth work and a far more inclusive approach to education!
