The Covid generation missed out on so much and their mental health took a huge hit. There is inadequate MH support for them. They also have a future of uni debts, rising unemployment, spiralling living costs and unable to get on the property ladder. Our children deserve better!
They did. They endured two years of radically disrupted education, isolation & lockdowns - all in order to protect vulnerable & elderly citizens.
Which is more than the boozing hypocrites in Downing Street did.
Stop demonising young people.

Reflecting on Gateshead HT conference this week. Amazing session by @Andibrierley about Relational Poverty, followed by @TheAdultsChange with @HLHallEducation. Interesting insights that will strengthen the Relational practice we value at @CedarsTrustNE
Absolutely blown away by @TimbaDash @TimbadashT Wintry Night sensory theatre. They have created a multi-sensory wonderland for our students to explore - it is magical! @hadrian_school

Back from first residential post Covid. First time many chn had been away from home. I am in awe of my colleagues. They know each child so well and totally committed to making sure each had the best experience. Teachers get bad press, but there are some 💎 out there. 🥰 #SEND

Absolutely spot on. Everything I’ve learned in my career in a specialist setting would have been invaluable to me when I was in mainstream.
Trainee teacher left us last week after a term. Told us she learned so much to take back to mainstream. EVERY teacher should spend time in a special school. #ITT

Thank you @NAHTnews . @Mike_Fabricant comments were appalling and do not reflect the selflessness and professionalism of my colleagues throughout the pandemic despite their anxieties of working in close proximity to vulnerable children. @nadhimzahawi
