It is with great sadness we announce the passing of John ‘Paddy’ Hemingway DFC – Last of ‘The Few’. We reflect not only on his sacrifices, but the sacrifices of all those who served & fought in WWII. Paddy, thank you for your service. Per Ardua ad Astra raf.mod.uk/news/articles/…

Hey #TwitterEPs and #EduTwitter community - From today @edpsyuk won't be posting here anymore. Please head on over to Blu35ky to find us there for all things psychology, education, schools and professional development. @BPSOfficial @psychmag @UKDCP @dr_treisman

“It's all kind of an imperfect storm…Because schools weren't getting the advice early enough…because we weren't able to find the early intervention, these problems became entrenched & really tough for schools to manage” send-network.co.uk/posts/ep-workf… @BPSOfficial #psychologymatters

@drcynthia_pinto Thank you Cynthia!

Looking forward to hearing about your research Gim. @GimThia

@SkyNews Love it that this is from sky news!

Watch as a once-in-a-lifetime comet streaks across the night sky. The newly discovered comet won't pass by Earth for another 80,000 years, according to NASA. Read more: trib.al/E2NchBp

'The staff needed for councils to fulfil their duties, including highly specialist roles like educational psychologists, cannot be trained overnight, and so this situation will not be resolved without significant reform on a national scale.' #twittereps theguardian.com/education/arti…

Late to this release but not the least bit surprised. As EPs all know from our practice, exclusions have spiralled out of control in England. bbc.com/news/articles/…

Kudos to @EdBaines1 for this remarkable research but sad to see school playtimes continue to decrease. Incidentally, I just had a feedback meeting today for my therapeutic play casework. Tough for CYP and adults alike when the system works against them. google.com/amp/s/amp.theg…

My random news appearance: mylondon.news/news/south-lon… Didn't know what to say as I've decided to vote based on national rather than local issues. In hindsight, I should've mentioned the "SEND crisis" and emphasised my frustration with the trains as others did.

Interesting findings from Canada. TL;DR: spatial cognition more tied to biological sex at birth; verbal cognition better explained by gender factors (gender identity, gender roles, sexual orientation). bsd.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Please support this research or pass it on to relevant school staff if you can!

#Oliverscampaign This clip concerns me greatly 'Where are these people coming from, we didn't have them in my day' Other language right there. Sir, we are better educated now we recognise children who have additional needs & of course our population is growing rapidly

Greater oversight and scrutiny clearly needed, but the "publish or perish" culture also needs to go. theguardian.com/science/2024/f…

@KatieM9051 @fesshole Lovely! 🤝

@GimThia @fesshole Very proud of this from up the road 🤣

The Nectar app has just done a "Spotify Wrapped" type thing, showing what I've spent my money on in Sainsbury's last year. Apparently I bought more cheap-brand salted peanuts than anyone in my town - pop. 47,000. Kind of ashamed. But probably more proud.

Please retweet, are any MPs in the UK working to end the national pet crisis? Most council pounds in the UK don't allow the public to adopt. They keep all dogs for just 7 days, then, regardless of breed, age, health, they can put them to sleep if there are no rescue shelter spaces available. All rescue shelters are full or overwhelmed. In the last week I have seen, pregnant dogs, Dachshund and Spaniel puppies, all breeds, in council pounds. The tragic XL Bully crisis has taken the spotlight in the news, but this pet crisis is affecting hundreds of thousands of dogs of all breeds and other animals while @RishiSunak @Conservatives have done nothing to end the suffering and pointless death of thousands. Are any MPs in the UK doing anything about the horrific pet crisis ? 3.4 million pets abandoned in the UK in just 12 months and the situation is much worse since this report. vettimes.co.uk/news/concern-a… @UKLabour @AngelaRayner @Keir_Starmer @michaelgove @SuellaBraverman @BBCNews @itvnews @SkyNews @Channel4News @channel5_tv @BBCPanorama @GMB @susannareid100 @lorraine @BBCBreakfast @BritishVets @DefraGovUK @DrBrianMay @PeterEgan6 @domdyer70 @Nightowl400 @MissingPetsGB @gsrescueelite @LurcherSOS @AmeliaHarperTV @PennyMordaunt @jessphillips @zarahsultana @ABridgen @darrenpjones @AndrewRTDavies @SeneddWales @SDoughtyMP @NickTorfaen @KevinBrennanMP @APDAWG1 #dogs #AdoptDontShop Dog Below, Sunday 7 January, in a council pound Surrey England. This pound will not allow the public to adopt and give the dogs that are taken there no exposure.
