1.4 million under 18s were referred to NHS mental health services in 2022. That’s a 76% increase from 2019 - the highest number on record. And the second year in a row where referrals exceeded one million. Young people are being failed. theguardian.com/society/2023/j…

Non-compliance with the law by many LAs lies at the heart of the SEND crisis. If this is not addressed, nothing is likely to improve. What’s the biggest challenge you have faced in navigating the SEND system? Tell us in the comments or R/T. ipsea.org.uk/40-years #IPSEAat40

Why are record numbers of children in home education? Because parents of children with anxiety or SEN feel they have no other choice. Let’s take a look at the school system itself and support our children’s education and their mental health post-Covid inews.co.uk/inews-lifestyl…

This is the most important piece I’ve ever written. Why are so many children missing school? Let’s stop punishing parents and take a look at the system itself and support our children’s mental health and SEN @teamsquarepeg @NotFineinSchool #EOTASMATTERS

To understand trauma-informed care, is to understand a survivors grief over things that changed them and how they see the world, in ways that were out of their control.

Our once world beating NHS, deliberately underfunded so that it has fallen behind other countries: This vile, cynical legacy of 13 years of Conservative misrule. The attrition of the NHS must be reversed. Tories won’t - they have backers and mates who seek profit from suffering.

While some continue to expect us to fit societal norms and expectations I know for my family we have healed and thrived through politely ripping up the rule book and doing it our way. “The place in which I’ll fit will not exist until I make it” James Baldwin ❤️

I hate when people honor others who were in undeniable pain and talk about how brave it was that no one ever knew. They didn’t know because the person didn’t think it was safe to speak their truth. Suffering in silence isn’t brave, it’s a gateway to a deeper hell.

Updated Attendance Guidance encourages prosecution and fines of families facing barriers to attendance. Undiagnosed children with SEND are particularly at risk. Please don't criminalise our families. - Sign the Petition! chng.it/YymsxnQX via @UKChange

@campbellclaret’s righteous indignation: “This isn't about Gary Lineker this is about whether we, as a country, understand the seeds that are being sown by this authoritarian right wing government that now has got a grip of the conservative party and a grip of this government. 1/

So far we have me, the Independent, and Keith Kondakor. Everyone else he threatened - newspapers and bloggers - should do the same. "One hundred per cent I will take legal action." was pretty toothless then - it's laughable now.
