@ellieokwilson Hope you had a wonderful dinner. You deserved it. Fantastic to hear you speak up and out today.

Happy Friday! Lots to be celebrating this week, but mainly my keynote speech at a domestic abuse conference! It feels so surreal for me to be able to travel the country telling my story. Despite threats to silence me, I’m more resolute than ever. Cheers to that! 🥂

Three-quarters of survivors of sexual violence are subjected to rape myths during cross-examination, such as being asked what they were wearing or if they were out for revenge, according to research. A report by the charity @VictimSupport said the court process was re-traumatising victims, with one telling researchers: “You’re a piece of meat being pulled through the court system.” Some survivors who went to court developed PTSD and suicidal thoughts and some attempted to kill themselves. ➡️ theguardian.com/society/2024/o…

The National Autism Trainer Programme helped Ellie, a Child Wellbeing Practitioner at Islington CAMHS, to think creatively about ways to support autistic young people and their families. It's your last chance to sign up for NATP training: orlo.uk/sc66L @AT_Autism

Remember to wear something 💛

@HamzaYassin3 we loved your talk on Saturday as part of the Bath children's lit festival. My daughter Edith was desperate to ask you a question but didn't get a chance. Might you kindly be able answer? "What is the cleanest animal you've ever met?!" Thank you x

'The use of theatre and arts techniques to create a space where children can step into the shoes of others.' Our amazing patron, Academy Award-winning actress Olivia Colman, explains the magic of Tender 🥰 #actingforhealthyrelationships #drama #art #OliviaColman

100%agree

I am delighted that the local connection test for social housing will be dropped. For too many domestic abuse survivors, home is the most dangerous place. Now, they will be able to apply for social housing in a new area if they are no longer safe where they live. 👇

Killed Women demands the new Government honours the Conservative’s commitment to change the outdated and misogynistic UK domestic homicide sentencing laws in support of murdered women and their families. On average, in the UK perpetrators who kill in the home using a weapon kept in the home receive a sentence with a minimum prison term (starting tariff) before being considered for parole, of around ten years less than those killed out of home, due to out-of-date laws. “We want the symbolism of these plaques to raise this issue in the House of Commons.  The Government showed a refreshing approach to the riots this summer and we want this issue to be granted the same attention, in honouring the pledges made by the previous Government. While this won’t bring our loved ones home, at the very least, families of future victims will be consoled by the knowledge that justice has been served.” Each bespoke plaque will include each woman's name, their life span, and then the words;' killed in the home’, the sentence given, and ‘Murder is murder, change the law.

An emotional day fighting for a fair justice system. Close the 10 year disparity in sentencing now ⁦@MoJGovUK⁩ . It is predominantly women who are MURDERED in the home and you Labour Gov have promised to protect us and take violence against women and girls seriously.

Hat tip to the guardian for this and also to the amazing work of @FemicideCensus without them and the amazing families of these women the public consciousness on this issue would not have advanced. And now to stopping it! theguardian.com/uk-news/ng-int…

@ERStollery @tauyouth @WeAreLumosia Top left shows her spark (I always rambert her joy and spark when working with her on mousetrap workshops) I also like the one in white. Top right works for a specific role type but less for general casting I would say. Hope you are all super well x

New headshots! Which one is your favourite? Ours is top left, but it’s harder for us to choose! Growing fast; Eleanor is now repped by @tauyouth & these wonderful photos were taken by Sean @WeAreLumosia who we really enjoyed working with. #headshots #youngactor #eleanorsvoice 🤩

LOVELY job focussed on Arts in WSM. Get applying (or please share)
