You can’t build a successful education system around shame, embarrassment, detention & exclusion. You can’t ‘reason’ a child struggling with school attendance out of a response they were never ‘reasoned’ into. Only patience, love, understanding & the resources to do so will work.

Until you live it you can't really appreciate the parallel universe that exists when someone has been traumatised. Things are not always the way they seem. We need to always focus on the hidden as opposed to the presented ways of being. @TIE_GB @TouchBase_UK @ddpnetwork

If you are on duty at the school gate you have the opportunity to be a safety anchor for children who have lived toxic stress. This transition is significant. Be mindfully present and focussed. Connect with each and every child as they go through. Neuroception matters. #Aces

Children with Special Educational Needs require more help in schools right now not less. As I visited schools recently most SENCO's were telling me that there were way more children that needed EHCPs than had them. One of the factors was a shortage of Educational Psychologist…
