Wildlife should be celebrated on Boxing Day, not caught up in trail hunting. We urge the Government to strengthen the Hunting Act. Sign the Time for Change petition 👉 timeforchangecoalition.co.uk Illegal hunting should be reported to the police, who will call if they need us.
A few weeks ago 9 rescue pigs joined our farmies at Rescue World - a half-way house while Every Pig Rescue find them homes 🐷🐷🐷 Their first freedom runs, happiness and curiosity are just the same as dogs. Beautiful sentient beings who come running for their breakfast. We…
Are Maslow’s theories all forgotten now?? Apart from that we have a mental health crisis in children, can no one see the connection?? Their most basic needs are not being taken care of!?! My son said he nearly wet himself in class (yr7) too, he’s dyslexic & struggles as it is!?
Sheffield Star story about pupil wetting himself after being denied access to the toilet. Am aware of other cases like this. Concerns of parents re humiliation of it, staying with that child, echoed in other cases.Are schools weighing this up,in policies? thestar.co.uk/education/outw…
Parents often send me similar 'attendance ladders' to this, and tell me how damaging they are for their children. Why? Imagine you have a medical condition which means you need to go to appointments or are regularly ill - and when you get back into work, you're greeted with a…
7/ It troubles me deeply to see that school staff and children alike continue to battle ill health. The impact is far reaching. Perhaps, one day, health and well-being will be prized as highly as attainment data, attendance figures & inspection outcomes. They really should be.
It doesn't really matter what I say on here, it's guaranteed that someone will be angry about it. Someone will be furious and say I am making things up, or grifting. Someone will suggest that I'm exploiting parents because I don't work for free. In a way, that's quite…
Thank you a million times over to all the people who support me and this busy hospital, by word or by deed. I am so deeply moved, every day, by the goodness in the hearts of those who donate towards the cost of medicines, etc, via PayPal, or who supply essential supplies from my…
SP is the campaign, lobby, change-making, solutions-builder partner to @NotFineinSchool. We exist because 10s thousands of CYPFs are being forced out, unable to attend, access or remain in education, we’re on a quest to do something about it. @bphillipsonMP @educationgovuk
This may indeed be a crisis, but to insist on calling it an ‘attendance’ crisis not only unfairly lays blame at the feet of parents and children, but risks not seeing the bigger picture and understanding what needs to change. 2/
Important article exploring the reasons families are de-registering featuring two of our fantastic Square Peg Associates @OliverConway and @75ThunderRoad. Non-elective home education is not a choice, it’s an act of survival. @AnnaFazack1 @NotFineinSchool
For thousands of families home education isn’t a lifestyle choice - it’s a crisis. “I meet families where the child’s anxiety is sky-high, and they can’t manage attending..They’re trying to avoid getting fined, living in poverty, desperate for help.” theguardian.com/education/2024…

Another day, another parent receives a very serious letter in the post. Their child's school attendance level has triggered legal action under the Single Justice Procedure. The parent has to respond by telling the magistrate if they are guilty or not guilty. 1/
RESILIENCE - a thread 🧵 1. Schools often speak of 'resilience'. They say that it is important to raise children who are resilient enough to withstand the world as adults. #attendancematters #education #educationmatters #childism #gentleparenting
Have you told that to your LA’s who have a duty to provide an education (not only in a school setting)? How many young people want to learn, want to build peer relationships, trust adults again but their LA have let September come around without sourcing provision? With an EHCP!
I make no apologies for saying the best place for children is in school. The Tories tinkered around the edges of a generational challenge. Labour are gripping it. This week must be back-to-school week, not just for some children, but for all children. thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…
Dr Ross Greene: 1. Children do well when they can. 2. ‘Challenging behaviour’ = lagging skills. 3. Support relevant skills development. 4. Focus on relationship, connection, psychological safety. 5. Anticipate spikey profile as child adjusts and starts to feel safe/grow.
Look beneath the surface. Reframing trauma symptoms as survival modes and regulation challenges. Having a more brainaware perspective helps you understand that something has happened that has influenced their brain.🧠🌱
We need more honesty and greater perspective about school attendance issues, and much less parent blaming. Illness absence is more than ten times the scale of term time holiday absence. Mental health is a much bigger (and rapidly growing) cause of absence than birthdays.
‘We’ve heard from mothers that it's a ‘broken system’’ Woman’s Hour is airing a special programme all about SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) in September. Do you have experience of navigating the SEND system? Perhaps you’re looking for advice? Get in touch ⬇️
Connect the dots between the SEND crisis and the Attendance crisis - when children do not get the support they need in school they become unable to attend, and then the system blames the family and fines/prosecutes parents (...make it make sense!)
