.@NTvirtualschool discussing the concept of 'safety' for children and young people. Relational safety, moral safety, cultural safety - sharing the work of @dr_treisman and why when safety and trust increase we see improvements 🙌 #effectingchange

Listening to 2 young people from Care4Me in N. Tyneside. How many houses have you lived in? Up to 7 in the audience today. It's often 12 or more for these young people. No space or time to 'move home' just rapid change, new people, new place...#effectingchange @NTvirtualschool

A trauma informed approach leads to better outcomes and futures for our young people. We look forward to sharing the invaluable findings in the research by the Rees centre about this area with our schools.

Something VERY misunderstood is that refusal to accept help/to know that help is needed/to trust that someone can help/to trust someone FULLSTOP is a trauma response... 'independence' is not the goal where there has been trauma. Interdependence is.

When I was in care teachers often told me I was useless & not clever enough to go to uni. But yesterday I passed my doctoral degree & became Dr Kelly! Never let anyone tell you you aren't good enough! Thank you @NikkiLukePsych @ReesCentre @wellcometrust for believing in me! 🎓🥰

Just let that sink in. Language matters. Is it finally time to remove this word from children's services. Errr... yes. Yes it is.

Really interesting ‘Lincolnshire social work practice to support attendance seminar’ organised by @IsabelleTrowler - hearing about how social workers are supporting school attendance - sounds like they are really effective ‘education champions’! @NAVSH_UK 🌟

The evidence base for trauma informed education is now really growing. Finally! Research report for @WYpartnership will be released in May. Loving working on this research insight report!

Understanding the role and importance of Virtual Schools is not just for SENCOs or DSLs or DTs. All school staff should familiarise themselves with the incredible resource that VS are!

We have a little chap in EYFS. He came to us on a managed move. He’s making so much progress. He had a hug with his TA today. He said, ‘At my old school, nobody loved me!’
I could weep.
All our children deserve to feel loved.
Please love them - they know.
❤️🧡💙💚🌈

"Don't shout, tell them off, or physically force them to go to school. Even though the situation may feel stressful, this is likely to increase their anxiety."
@YoungMindsUK we couldn't agree more. Yet scores of our parents are told to do say daily.

We're thrilled to be able to share our children's film for schools.
The children are passionate about making schools a better place for adopted young people.
📢This is their voice, please help them by sharing it.
