Pleased to share that our paper on parents’ experiences of EBSNA is now published! It’s a bit of a ‘pinch me’ moment to see my thesis research in print! Special thanks to @NikkiCollingwo1 for all of your support along the way!

Attendance Matters!
But so do children…
Perhaps you've seen a similar poster?
Well, I propose a few changes; if we're going to award attendance I think we should at least be honest about what we're awarding.

Beautiful flowers and card from my wonderful Year 1 TEP who finished her placement with us today 💐 I have loved every minute of being a TEP placement supervisor this year and am excited to see what a fabulous EP she will be 🥰
Absolutely blown away by the response to my blog posted this week! Thank you to @edpsyuk for giving me the platform to share the action planning tool and to everybody for their lovely comments! Please do let me know if/how you use it in your practice! 😍

Waking up today still reflecting on the wonderful sessions at yesterday’s Eastern Region Conference! Special thanks to @teamsquarepeg for the lovely shout out to my research! Feeling very blessed to have caught up with my amazing colleagues across the region 🥰 #twittereps

"Avoiding school" is such a misleading term.
The school attendance crisis?
It's a mental health crisis.
It's a SEND crisis.
It's a school funding crisis.
All of which began long before Covid but has been profoundly exacerbated by the pandemic.

After holidays, many children and young people are grappling with the return to school. Parents are sharing the struggle to get them there. Let's LISTEN, let's SUPPORT. @DrJerricah EBSA Horizons offers essential training for schools and educators to understand & effectively support emotional-based school avoidance. Join us in creating a more compassionate approach to improving attendance💙 #attendance #EBSA #edutwitter

Well said 👏🏻 #Saveourservices
📢'We're in this together and we WILL find change."
👏An inspiring speech from London EP @susanmoorehch at yesterday's rally - to continue to fight for the acknowledgement of the hard work, expertise and dedication of EPs in local authorities.

I have made the difficult decision to strike today, not solely due to pay, but rising workloads and a broken system #saveourservices
📉There is a recruitment and retention crisis in our EP services, with severe consequences for communities.
Low pay & high workloads are driving educational psychologists to private practice; or away from the profession altogether.

⬇️ A timely reminder of why EPs are making the difficult decision to take industrial action:
to reverse the vicious circle destroying EP services and protect them for children, young people & communities in the future.

As I'm not eligible to take industrial action (not Soulbury paid), I am aiming to support the action by raising awareness and showing solidarity.
I created this infographic to highlight some of the key issues in our profession currently.

Even though I’m now entering my second (!) year as a qualified EP I still resonate with every word. Time really does pass in a blink!
It is almost 3 years since I wrote ‘A letter to my Year 1 self’ after spending a few days at the @DECPOfficial conference. To hear that these reflections still resonate with trainees warms my heart - please feel free to share if you find useful!
