I’m campaigning against unfair changes to Indefinite Leave to Remain. I delivered a letter to the Home Office signed by @AndreaEganGS, 70+ parliamentarians and 33 civil society groups. These plans will divide communities and damage services. Ministers must think again.

Thank you @KimJohnsonMP for visiting yesterday to discuss getting Legal Aid back on the agenda. Now more than ever we need a properly functioning Legal Aid system to support the most vulnerable & tackle rising levels of poverty in our communities #AccessToJustice

🚨BREAKING: 137 groups across the UK have written to @ukhomeoffice @YvetteCooperMP calling for an IMMEDIATE suspension of immigration reporting conditions due to risks posed by far-right activity targeting migrants and refugees.

@carla_denyer thank you for the strong statement you put out on Sunday. As one of your local constituents, I’d like to invite you to also sign this statement alongside other colleagues of yours in Parliament!

Pleased to have a visit from our local MP @hammersmithandy today, as part of the upcoming @YLALawyers and @migrantsorg campaign #TakeYourMPToWork and have a chance to discuss the pressures facing the #LegalAid sector. 1/3

Can we also tackle the rise of the far left by doing everything they want as well please

@CharlotteWPhD @nuwandiss @Shrink_at_Large Oh you’re a star, thank you Charlotte! Much appreciated 🙏🏻

@HesterCareless @nuwandiss @Shrink_at_Large Of course! It was through the Social Research Association the-sra.org.uk/Shared_Content… Thoroughly recommend

Dialog+ is quantitatively driven, meaning there is a risk resources could be disproportionately allocated to patients who show measurable improvement in pre- and post-treatment assessments. This could further discriminate against those for whom maintaining stability is amazing.

📢 We are working with the wonderful @FEAST_ED to set up a Carers and Supporters Advisory Board which will help shape our project. 🧵👇

@CharlotteWPhD @nuwandiss @Shrink_at_Large @CharlotteWPhD would you be happy to share the name of the questionnaire design training you did? I'm currently doing some lived experience work on what data is collected from services/how it's used to improve outcomes. Dialog, plus other potentially problematic scales, is used

@nuwandiss @Shrink_at_Large I have recently done some specialised training on developing questionnaires. The Dialog form is like an example of Things To Avoid

Hey! I'm working on a research grant proposal on #eatingdisorders (ED) and seeking someone from ethnic minority communities in the UK. Ideally, you'd have previously used or sought help from ED services and are now recovered and comfortable sharing your experience. Please DM!

@jamesldowns Rereading your list, yes! And this shows to me that I need to brush up on my understand of EDS… thank you for the nudge!

@HesterCareless More prominent. Some of the others didn’t even exist!

Ehlers Danlos Syndrome is a more important causal component of my eating disorder than: body image disturbance dieting calories childhood trauma parenting drive for thinness fear of fat Yet “treatment” has not been holistic, and completely neglected this #EDSawarenessmonth

@jamesldowns @MQmentalhealth Hehe v aware not your error

@HesterCareless @MQmentalhealth Haha that wasn’t my error hehe

New blog from me for ⁦@MQmentalhealth⁩: “How can we include people with lived experience in research… when the new knowledge created may not translate into help on the ground any time soon?” Mental Illness: What’s Data Science Got To Do With It? 👇🏽 mqmentalhealth.org/mental-illness…

@AgnesAyton TY for sharing Agnes. Side note - I wish we could be more creative (& less stereotyping) with the photos that typically accompany AN articles…! Something other than slim white females & measuring tapes... (I realise this isn’t your article & the author likely didn’t have a say!)
