An Educational Psychologist nee Maths teacher. Described as woke. The rule breaker who hates to comply except when solving mathematical problems. Too many things often happening in my head, a dreamer who just wants better life chances for all. 🍉 🧠⚖️

Why don’t we make these companies accountable rather than banning kids? Banning is not going to resolve the issues. Also this does not protect the members of the community that are the most vulnerable. #edpsych

As psychologists we need to examine society & politics, the impact on our children. Media reporting on the Epstein files, one of the largest pedophile rings exposed & no one is held accountable. What is this telling children? We live in a society that is normalizing abuse. #edpsych

Closing Remarks
Educational Psychologists for Material Change Reflections, connections, and next steps.Workshop 1| Dr Dan O'Hare
The UK's benefits system is often described as "lacking dignity and humanity", but behind that phrase are real children and families living with its consequences. In this talk, Dan weaves personal experience with research evidence to ask: what does the welfare system take from children?
Beyond material deprivation and over and above the devastating effects of poverty, how do bureaucracy, conditionality, sanctions and stigma shape family life and mental health? Together, we'll reflect on why this matters for policy, practice, the kind of society we want to build, and what we as professionals might do.
Workshop 2 | Dr Luca Onions
Luca is an educational psychologist, he is talking about his research exploring the lived, school experience of gender-diverse, autistic young people under the age of 15.
Workshop 3 | No More Exclusions
No More Exclusions is a Black-led, community-based abolitionist movement working to end school exclusion and challenge systems of state violence affecting Black, brown, disabled, and working-class communities.
This session introduces abolition and its relevance to education, tracing NME's journey, lived experience, and organising. It explores the long-term impacts of exclusion and connects school practices to wider political and structural harm.Workshop 4 | Revoke
Mona is the founder of Revoke, a radical, grassroots organisation working with young adults in the asylum system. Her own parents were political refugees from Iran and she grew up in Denmark before migrating to the UK as a teenager.
Hannah is an integrative art psychotherapist with extensive youth work experience across schools, PRUs, statutory services and the NCS, and has been the Therapeutic Lead at Revoke for the past four years, where she built our community therapy programme up from scratch.
Their session will focus on unaccompanied minors in particular and the holistic, abolitionist approach we've taken to their care.
Workshop 5 | Justin Hancock
Justin Hancock is a Sex and Relationships Educator. They are delivering a session titled "Politics, Micropolitics, and Lines of Flight in Relationships (a Potential Becoming...)".
Workshop 6 | Masalaha

Silencing in Education'.
Maslaha translates from Arabic as "for the common good". We believe the tools for liberation lie within our communities. We work in shared struggle with Muslim communities to live free from oppression in all its forms, and stand in solidarity with other liberatory movements.
