Smart, witty and incisive paper by Rachel@Morgan-Trimmer @SparkleClass - Autism in women - under-diagnosed, under-served and under-represented. A really good read. doi.org/10.28963/4.2.3

These journalists at taxpayer-funded state broadcaster BBC earn way more than the total annual budget for @declassifiedUK. At same time, we've revealed more about UK government policies in past month than they have in their whole careers. These two facts are not unrelated.

Why are schools paying for Book Burners to “train” their leaders

@SystemicInquiry @mairi_wickens A wonderful start to the conference. #autism #intersectionality

@AshleyLord2017 @Yellowbikergirl Surely if the statutory limit is breached then the application should be re-started from 26 weeks and 1 day?

The 26 week statutory limit for concluding care proceedings is well known... today I have finalised a set of proceedings at 89 weeks and 6 days! The system is beyond breaking point!

@steve_rogowski Steve, have you uploaded your pulled article anywhere else for me to read?

I tried to raise some of these issues in the article BASW 'pulled'.

Congratulations Jadwiga Leigh, @BeddoeE and @EmilyK100! Your article ‘Disguised compliance or undisguised nonsense? A critical discourse analysis of #compliance and resistance in #SocialWork practice’ was one of our most read articles. Read it for free doi.org/10.1332/204674…

This is terrifying Neonicotinoids are banned in EU because of lethal harm to bees, butterflies, birds & other animals This is exactly what we warned Brexit could be used for Ministers needs to rule this out immediately if they’re serious about upholding promises on standards

That £12 billion of government money for Test and Trace, funnelled through private companies and more or less entirely wasted, is bigger than the whole General Practice budget for England. It's almost twice the total NHS capital spending budget for buildings and equipment.

Stupid organisations, stupid people (cf. Mats Alvesson & Andre Spicer - The Stupidity Paradox)

These NHS 'experts' and their fantasies need sorting out by mental health service users, parents and carers. Such bureaucratic top-down delusions herald the end of mental health caring. People care, digits can't.

@MartinBarrow Before I retired from CAMHS I used to say that if it wasn't for schools I would be out of a job.

Yes, but...the assertion that schools are universally positive for children's mental health is just plain wrong. So many children fear school. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Thanks Emily. In 1 LA in England 1 baby in every 46 is removed from their parents at birth. This is more than a scandal. In one of the richest countries, is that really the best we can do?

This is extraordinary! Be warned. Ministers use COVID-19 to destroy children’s safeguards – Article 39 article39.org.uk/2020/04/23/min…

Words fail me on this - that the Government could put ideology before acquiring ventilators is just unbelievable How many lives have been lost because of this Little England exceptionalism? #Covid19

Matt Hancock how dare you try to deflect blame for inadequate PPE supplies by insinuating overuse by NHS staff is the problem Lecturing them that it’s a “precious resource” is unforgivable -those putting lives on line know its value -get your act together theguardian.com/society/2020/a…
