Latest from me. Might be the most important thing I've ever written theguardian.com/commentisfre…

People with intellectual disabilities need attention. We all need attention.
When we see attention seeking behavior we should respond with more interest not less.
Think communication. Not irritation.
ALT ID: Image shows a young man slouched sat in a wheelchair in a darkened room with his head in his hand. Text reads: Ignoring attention seeking behavior doesn't make the underlying need go away

Every family of a disabled child or young person is different. What unites us is the endless struggle for decent services and support.

Huge thank you to the Day Surgery team at Queen Mary's Hospital @StGeorgesTrust for looking after my bro so well today. An example of how to adapt care for those with learning disabilities; adjusting protocols, allowing me into theatre. It means so much.

'Raising a safeguarding' is not the same thing as actually acting to protect and safeguard an adult or child at risk
It's vital that we don't confuse these two things, and it's vital that we never discharge a patient to an unsafe environment with just an email to Social Services
