Here’s my take on the national review into the deaths of #ArthurLabinjoHughes & #StarHobson. The report clarifies a lot but my view is that the lived experience of #SocialWork & #ChildProtection still need to be better understood & taken account of theguardian.com/commentisfre…
Support for social workers is the missing piece of the Star and Arthur review | Harry Ferguson

Support for social workers is the missing piece of the Star and Arthur review | Harry Ferguson

School exclusions can be the pathway to prison. Infusing trauma informed responsive principles while showing empathy and not exclusion could help our most hard to reach young people.This will also help disrupt the school to prison pipeline 🧠🌱

Let's look at the behaviour of our young people through the lens of co-regulation. Punishing a child doesn't help them regulate their own behaviour. We need to support them how to manage big feelings, not punish them.🧠

Let’s start aiming our messages at abusive men and force them to reflect I’m sick of seeing campaigns aimed at women.

A throwback to a tweet I sent in 2017. This & much more will be explored in my forthcoming book. Trauma, adversity & culturally infused, informed & responsive practice is more than a buzz word, introducing an assessment tool, being nice, or putting a fruit bowl in a reception.

At Christmas there’s a lot of pressure to be perfect and have it all. We see adverts showing happy families in matching PJ’s. Nobody is having a drunken row, struggling with life or feeling lonely. The Samaritans have a free number - 116 123 (UK). Please RT 😊
