Family Futures parent Clare and CEO Jay Vaughan, along side Emily Frith @AdoptionUK and other parents and professionals, called on @GOVUK to urgently rethink the cuts to the #ASGSF this morning on @BBC5live listen here - bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…
The Adoption and Special Guardianship Support Fund (ASGSF) has transformed thousands of lives, providing vital therapeutic support. The gov has announced a 40% cut and changes to funding allocation. Read our open letter: adoptionuk.org/news/open-lett…

A charity has warned of a “mental health emergency” amongst adopted children, caused by “failings in a system that is not set up to meet their needs”. @SueAB68 @AdoptionUK #covid19 #socialcare #mentalhealth socialworktoday.co.uk/News/Adopted-c…
Just brilliant
Today Sir David Attenborough addresses the first ever @UN Security Council meeting on climate security to warn of the risks of climate change, and call for global #ClimateAction to drive the change needed to create a stable, healthy world. 🌏 #COP26 | #ItsPossible
It’s #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek and it’s so important for us to help our children and encourage them to share their thoughts and feelings about their mental health and support one another. @allontheboard #ExpressYourself #ChildrensMentalHealth Place2Be #allontheboard
Couldn't agree more, how ridiculous. Where has common sense gone to? they've made it look like a crime scene!
This is absolutely ridiculous and unnecessary!! How scary for children! There are plenty of other nicer ways of doing this if you don’t want your children to touch the books!!

Particularly relevant for adopted children, many are living with a retained moro reflex i.e. survival mode, dominating daily behaviour. Treatment really works!

Our crazy little ball of fun has finally slept through for a whole week....aged 7! Oh the relief! Hello sleep 😊
Retained primitive reflexes have featured on @VirginRadioUK as part of #ChrisEvansBreakfastShow - we were all over it a few weeks ago - hertsad.co.uk/news/attention…
Can't belive how short-sighted this advert is. Good advice is readily available. @bt_uk you really need to rethink your approach...and soon!
Who's seen the new BT ad about human connections? Ends with a child finding their 'real Dad'... @BritishTelecom expect you're going to get lots of connections from 'real' adoptive Dads and Mums! newsroom.bt.com/bt-celebrates-…

There's no excuse not to! not in 2019. Its common sense, expecially when the strategies for care experienced children can help all children reach their potential.
Teachers' Standards say they should "have a clear understanding of the needs of all pupils, including those with SEND; those of high ability, those with English as an additional language; those with disabilities" We think that care-experienced children should be on that list.
DfE calling now for trauma-informed practice in schools following review of outcomes for CIN. This is a break through. Guidance needed on what it means in practice & @Ofstednews need to know what to look for. If the new framework uses word impeccable - a sign they still don't.
We should never have lower aspirations for a child in need of help or protection than we do for their peers. Together with our hardworking teachers and social workers we can help those children have greater opportunities to fulfil their potential gov.uk/government/new…

Finally caught up with this podcast by Sir John Timpson, well worth a listen. Heartening to hear a different generation talk about attachment and 'getting it'!
Some sound advice here... Interesting podcast to listen to bbc.co.uk/programmes/p06… #business #people #trust #support

Fantastic, an example to so many
Great to see the DfE highlighting a school that prioritises inclusion, restorative approaches and relationship-focused practices to support all children to achieve. yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/news/education…
