Dr Marc Pescod

Please join me and other EPs interested in Homelessness in our first Homelessness and Educational Psychology group session. Can't wait to discuss what we can do as a profession to support this hidden population. #TwitterEPs @HomelessnessEP

Thank you @ReddenCourt for allowing me to come and speak to your amazing staff about homelessness. The work you are doing around this topic should be acknowledged and amplified. I feel lucky to be part of this inspirational journey to support your homeless students. 🙏

Had such an amazing sessions with some passionate school staff all striving to support homelessness in their school. There is some incredible practice going on in Havering!...and it is just the start. Watch this space 😬😬

Over the last year, since starting the Homelessness Project in Havering, supporting schools and my SEND colleague with homelessness, I hear stories about this all the time. It's not okay and things needs to change. #homelessness #notokay

@edpsydan @LeeyaRoovis Couldn't be more excited to read it!

@EPonSea "During the assessment, I met with This Charming Man and I asked him about his family; He Knows So Much About These Things".

Calling EPs interested in Homelessness 📢 Please consider signing this petition calling for changes in the #CriminalJusticeBill relating to rough sleeping/begging. (petition.parliament.uk/petitions/6592…) #TwitterEPs

The bill pertains to "nuisance begging" and "nuisance rough sleep". This language will only push people experiencing homelessness further into the margins of society.

📢 Call for papers for a Special Edition of Educational and Child Psychology on Homelessness and Education. 📆Deadline for manuscripts is 1st June 2024. Details in link: explore.bps.org.uk/news/call-pape…

@simonotstreets has written a great article for teachers on how to support children facing homelessness. They suggest Creating Stability, Creating a Safe Environment and Building Confidence. All of these are so important to making school a positive place. simononthestreets.co.uk/news/how-can-t…

“…if they don’t take it, you get taken off the list. But then if you do take it, then you also get taken off the list. So, now I am stuck in this place”.

Lack of control for our homeless families is a real problem. It significantly impacts parent's well-being and drains any autonomy they once had. See some powerful quotes from Groundwell's much needed research trustforlondon.org.uk/research/groun…
