Pleased to share that our paper on parents’ experiences of EBSNA is now published! It’s a bit of a ‘pinch me’ moment to see my thesis research in print! Special thanks to @NikkiCollingwo1 for all of your support along the way! tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Attendance Matters! But so do children… Perhaps you've seen a similar poster? Well, I propose a few changes; if we're going to award attendance I think we should at least be honest about what we're awarding. #attendancematters #edutwitter #childism #SEND

You can read the letter in full here and share widely in your communities to demand a SEND revolution 🙌🏼 #TwitterEPs #SENDrevolution shorturl.at/5g93E

Beautiful flowers and card from my wonderful Year 1 TEP who finished her placement with us today 💐 I have loved every minute of being a TEP placement supervisor this year and am excited to see what a fabulous EP she will be 🥰

@RGriffithsEP ❤️❤️❤️

Proud friend moment with @RachelS_EP sharing more of her amazing work in the form of her ‘SPIRAL’ Action Planning Tool’ & her paper being posted through the letterbox in print today, huge congratulations, keep waving the EBSNA flag, you’re doing a fab job!! #twittereps

Absolutely blown away by the response to my blog posted this week! Thank you to @edpsyuk for giving me the platform to share the action planning tool and to everybody for their lovely comments! Please do let me know if/how you use it in your practice! 😍

@SophEld94 @edpsyuk @edpsydan @psychedmum @DrChrisMooreEP @dr_treisman @jgetaylor @AEPsychologists @Strickomaster @WomenEd @nasponline @WOWWpsychology @hanna_f_grgry Thank you both! Would love to how you are thinking of using it and how you get on!

@DrJerricah @ucl @david_heyne @Carolin077Bond @EP_MatthewF Such a wonderful and thought provoking day! And so lovely to finally meet in person! ☺️

Thank you for the wonderful opportunity to present @ucl Leading Edge Day on Extended School Non-attendance, sharing my 'Moving from Recovery to Rediscovery' Model. Great presentations from @david_heyne @Carolin077Bond @EP_MatthewF & Adele Tobias #ebsa #schoolburnout #Attendance

Waking up today still reflecting on the wonderful sessions at yesterday’s Eastern Region Conference! Special thanks to @teamsquarepeg for the lovely shout out to my research! Feeling very blessed to have caught up with my amazing colleagues across the region 🥰 #twittereps

@RGriffithsEP Super proud of you!!

Long time no tweet- I return to share exciting news that I have secured a Senior Educational Psychologist post, can’t wait to begin my role entering the strategic and leadership space!! Cookie courtesy of my lovely cheerleader, friend and colleague @RachelS_EP 🍪 #twittereps

@NottsEPS Would love to hear more on this! We’re currently having this conversation in my LA and any ideas would be really helpful!

Joint Assessment Meetings! We would love to share our experiences of our pilot project & hear other EP's experience of attending a person-centred meeting to gather information & provide contribution to an EHC Needs Assessment. DM to share ideas, experiences & to talk more!😊

"Avoiding school" is such a misleading term. The school attendance crisis? It's a mental health crisis. It's a SEND crisis. It's a school funding crisis. All of which began long before Covid but has been profoundly exacerbated by the pandemic. theguardian.com/society/2024/f…

After holidays, many children and young people are grappling with the return to school. Parents are sharing the struggle to get them there. Let's LISTEN, let's SUPPORT. @DrJerricah EBSA Horizons offers essential training for schools and educators to understand & effectively support emotional-based school avoidance. Join us in creating a more compassionate approach to improving attendance💙 #attendance #EBSA #edutwitter

Well done Leicestershire NHS! I don’t know who wrote or complied this resource but it’s so valuable! Lots of really great #TraumaInformed advice and carefully chosen signposting #SchoolAttendance #AutisticBurnout leicspart.nhs.uk/autism-space/e…

@SaraEdPsy You will be wonderful!

How I am currently feeling about the latter part of next week 🤣🫠

@Lhorvath_edu @NikkiCollingwo1 That sounds great, I would definitely love to learn more! I will dm you my email address!

@RachelS_EP @NikkiCollingwo1 Hi Rachel, Derby city is in the process of training all schools in EBSNA by our EP team. We are developing a CPD offer of seminars, would you be available to present your findings again in an online session?

Wonderful Rachel, well done 👏

@EPonSea @NikkiCollingwo1 Hi Laura, some free prints may still be available here: tandfonline.com/eprint/TTM4RIK… If not, it should be available via the AEP!

@RachelS_EP @NikkiCollingwo1 Hi- this would be v timely for visit next week! Looks great. How can I access it? Is it at aep now pls? Thanks

@alisonvaughan20 @NikkiCollingwo1 Hi Alison! I think some free copies are available using this link: tandfonline.com/eprint/TTM4RIK… If not, I have also presented my findings with @epreachout before and have written a blog for @EdPsychEd ☺️

@RachelS_EP @NikkiCollingwo1 I work with EBSNA children. I would love to know more about SPIRAL but it is behind the paywall. Will you be doing any presentations/podcast or are there any other links to SPIRAL you recommend elsewhere?
