@TeachLeadAAli @bluelightcard Start shopping at Asda!

Anybody else found their @bluelightcard totally useless?

@MartinSLewis No strings attached pocket money for 11yo is £2 a week. I’ve an expectation he helps in the home as part of family life, not reward based. Junior bank account with card and savings attached and lots of chat about value/saving for costly items but also freedom to make mistakes!

TELL US: Your pocket money rules. How old are the children? How much do you give? Do they have to work for it? Does that include tidying their room. Pls let us know how you do pocked money in your house by reply. Like your faves and some will be read out on my podcast.

@aunty_fifi Ted Lasso on Apple TV (bear with the first season, took me a while)

@Conservatives Hypocrisy!

So Keir Starmer's son needs a £20,000 apartment to do his GCSE's. But pensioners on £13k a year have to choose between heating and eating?

@YoungMindsUK Be with your child, some things we can’t or don’t need to fix 💗

If you’re a parent and reading this, what advice would you give another parent who has a child who is struggling with their mental health? Share in the comments. Your advice could really help someone.

Shout out to the parents/carers/children with additional needs who have crawled to the finish line like being in a swamp in stilettos. The meetings, emails, phone calls of dread. The hugs, sobs and upset each evening of a child just trying to survive. Breathe #EHCP #Trauma

@Framheadteacher I’ve read this article with keen interest as a parent who has made complaints to schools. I don’t do this lightly and always try to consider competing factors and all the efforts staff do make. Ultimately though my child has to come first and sadly the system is failing him.

This.

@GillianKeegan @OECD I’d be I interested to see what the stats are for children needing, waiting for, or accessing mental health support in England vs Wales and Scotland alongside this

Improving attendance is my top priority. So I’m pleased our plan is working 👇 📈375k more pupils in school nearly every day last year 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Children in school 8 days more than Welsh children & 4.5 days more than Scottish children last year 🌐 A ‘comprehensive strategy’ - @OECD

@kazimierz66 @louisetickle @Aintinkansas @tortoise Deprivation of Liberty Order

@louisetickle @Aintinkansas @tortoise Sorry I don't understand. What legal framework are they using to keep this child legally detained in solitary confinement "for her own safety" ?

Today marks 365 days since 'Becky' a suicidal 12-year-old girl was locked away in a hospital room. I've been to multiple family court hearings for @tortoise, and heard repeated concerns raised about her human right not to be arbitrarily detained. shorturl.at/qH047

So @educationgovuk launched Moments Matter, Attendance Counts Campaign backed by mental health leaders @AFNCCF - Here’s a reality check for you guys! “Look at her now!” Are you kidding? #MH #SEND #Autism Systemic change, give children voices, support parents, collaborate. Please.

@SandyofSuffolk Most people’s knowledge and understanding (not yours yet)

I went to school 1963 to 1975. In all of that time, I never came across another child who had: ADHD; Autism; Anxiety; Obesity; Confusion over their gender; What changed? Social media? The Internet? Parenting? Teaching? What?

@HollytheOT Agree and if it’s a golden ticket why does it still require so much of my time reminding education what’s in it, what my child’s needs are and ensuring they provide that 😤

The only thing "golden" is the cost to parents - financially and mentally - in fighting to get the support their children need. This "golden ticket"/parent-blaming narrative needs to stop.

@YoungMindsUK Moving schools to one who values relationships, is nurturing and willing to learn

Parents, what is one thing that has changed your child's mental health for the better?

@10DowningStreet ‘British Talent’ 🤣 if this existed then you wouldn’t need this ridiculousness

We’re increasing the minimum earnings threshold for skilled workers by 48% to £38,700, encouraging businesses to look to British talent first and invest in their workforce.

The level of net migration is too high. Today we’re announcing a new plan to reduce immigration and curb the abuse of our visa system. Here is what we're doing 🧵👇

@YoungMindsUK 💔

This is new data from NHS England published this week. It confirms that the crisis in young people’s mental health is deepening – and has become a mental health emergency. For the past decade we have repeatedly called out the Government for not taking enough action. Year after the year these statistics get worse, yet no radical change happens. They have lost their grip on this emergency and are failing young people as a result. We can’t continue to let this escalate. The Government must tackle the reasons why so many young people are struggling with their mental health. Right now, they can make a difference by making sure every community has an early support hub so that young people can get help as soon as they need it. On top of that, we need a plan that is ambitious enough to end the mental health emergency – a plan with a focus on preventing poor mental health, as well as investing in and improving services.

@Hannah_CEPSW Totally agree and I would jump at the chance of responding. Big hugs 🤗

@themummygame Thank you 😊 Yeah that must be tough, if they reached out to you there’s no reason why u couldn’t respond tho 😄 Definitely not nice reaching out & being rejected which is what I’ve faced plenty of times 😅I’m sure you don’t do that tho, sounds like you care 😊

Over 20 foster placements, 5 years in a children’s home. How many carers/ staff in contact with me now? None. A few on social media but probably more who never accepted my requests on there. Starting to think maybe cause of ASD/ADHD, any other CEP had similar experiences? 🤔
