  3. Alistair and I react to a headteacher's comment on Teacher's Talk Radio saying we coped in 1976, so we should just get on with it. But anecdote is not risk assessment, nor is it a safeguarding standard.

  6. What If We’ve Got It Wrong? An Open Letter to a School Leader on Uniform, Heat and Behaviour

    A school in England, facing a run of very hot days and a national heat alert, wrote to parents to set out its expectations. There were some adjustments - small ones - but the overall message was clear: standards would hold, routines would remain, and any loosening of uniform would need to be carefully controlled. There was also an implication, lightly but unmistakably put, that where uniform had been relaxed in the past, behaviour had slipped. For one parent reading it, that last point stuck. So they wrote back....

  13. Quite frankly one fewer #BoardingSchool in #England is a *good* thing (I'm a survivor of these places) - even if they are no longer as much the #safeguarding and #abuse nightmare they were in 1980s, they still embed the fucked up class system that causes many of the long term problems in our country..

  15. Some families are not dangerous.

    They are traumatised.
    Exhausted.
    Hypervigilant.
    Trying to survive while being assessed at the same time.

    There is a difference between distress and danger.
    And systems need to learn it.

  20. Hi 👋

    I’m Charlie.

    I write about the gap between safeguarding systems, trauma, autism, survival, and what real lived experience actually feels like underneath the paperwork.

    Not from textbooks.
    From living it.

    You’ll probably find:
    • raw honesty
    • reflections on social work & safeguarding
    • autism/ADHD family life
    • nervous system survival
    • writing projects
    • uncomfortable truths people usually avoid

    I’m not here to be polished.
    I’m here to be real.

  22. Remember when we Queers were fighting for Marriage Equality and the bigots were crying that acknowledging Queer love would degrade the institution of Marriage?

    Anyway, let's see what the Straights are up too.......oh my!

  24. One of the core benefits of having a membership with the #AoCPP and #ISPCAN is that they both include access to extremely valuable, current #research on #Safeguarding and #ChildProtection. I'm currently evaluating how to best equip #teachers and other #school staff with skills and knowledge to improve child safety. Finding current research on exactly that topic is invaluable!

  26. Hello (again) Mastodon! 👋 I’m an international educator, psychology grad, and "pracademic" focused on #InternationalEducation.

    Psychological and physical safety is a prerequisite for learning. Yet, #ChildProtection is complex and culturally nuanced. I apply academic research to the daily realities of #Safeguarding in schools.

    Excited to connect with peers and build safer communities together.

  28. It’s Wednesday, and I know #teachers are tired. There’s only until 23:59 to get your views in about the proposed updates to the #KCSIE #Safeguarding policy. Two concerning harms proposed - one by omission - #ClimateChange, and other by reliance on a discredited, biased review. #EduSky #NowOrNever

  30. Today is #EarthDay - If there is one thing educators in England can do - that's respond to the #KCSIE #Safeguarding consultation and make sure the harm that #ClimateChange is bringing into our schools is recognised. The deadline is TODAY (how fitting!) 🔗

  32. I spent a wasted hour reading about an organisation I'm a passive member of and its Safeguarding Policy, or lack of!

    It's all a bit scary if you start thinking about this sort of thing.

    It seems that they're starting to turn the ship around after a couple of 'near miss' events - and about time too.

  34. At least she didn't take the coke and snort it herself - but this is dodgy practice for which a former #Essex #police #officer was rightly disciplined and barred.

    #Drugs should have been taken down the station and a record made of the incident (even if suspect wasn't arrested) so its available for #safeguarding / #MentalHealth monitoring (someone who takes drugs and calls 999 on himself clearly isn't in his right mind!)

    I do wonder if suspect was white and middle class, so officers didn't want to make a big thing of it as it didn't fit their stereotypes (and didn't want to deal with the paperwork of doing things properly?)

  38. 💯 agree with @[email protected] here. For me, term #sustainability is completely inadequate for what we need to be. We need #resilience. This is why I harp on about the need for schools to be climate resilient by treating #climatechange as a #safeguarding issue.

  40. Media reports on newly unsealed Epstein documents have referenced Kenya among countries mentioned internationally.
    For those of us working in child protection, this reinforces one truth:
    Children must be protected everywhere. 👶🏿🖤
    We continue strengthening safeguarding systems and trauma recovery services in Kenya.
