Just some of my reflections recently, like many parents i often question my parenting now and about the past. If only I knew then what I have learnt over the years. It's never too late to change even when our kids are adults

I may have some bedtime reading this week

The SEND White Paper is here. Before you open it… pause.

You do not have to read it today. You do not have to understand it all at once. You do not have to carry this alone.

It’s a big document. It will stir emotion. Go at a pace your nervous system can handle.

Kelly will be live tomorrow at 9:30am on our Facebook and YouTube channels, calmly breaking it down and taking your questions. (Links in comments)

No panic.
Just clarity.

We’re in this with you. 💛

All my coursework and portfolio is submitted now, so it is time to start advertising ready for the end. I'm starting to move some of my days to the East Midlands now as and when my Birmingham work ends so it's time to get the message out there. Please if you know people (schools, parents, other agencies) in the East Midlands share with them

ITV News has today released a story highlighting the very real and devastating affect Systems Generated Trauma has on families.

Our CEO, Jess Camburn-Rahmani, says:

“There is nothing more terrifying for a parent than being unable to protect their child. The stories highlighted by ITV News are shocking — but at Cerebra, they are heartbreakingly familiar.

This is not an isolated tragedy, it is the predictable outcome of a system that is failing thousands of disabled children and their families across the UK.

Our recently published research (https://buff.ly/Xmy7z1t) gathers devastating testimony from more than 1,200 parents and carers, documenting harmful practices across health, social care and education. These practices are causing profound and lasting trauma to the very children and vulnerable adults our public services are legally mandated to protect.

This is not a fringe issue. It is not rare. It is happening every day, in every community — if only we choose to see it. At Cerebra, we call this Systems Generated Trauma (SGT).

We are calling for the urgent recognition of SGT across all public services. Only when we name it, acknowledge the scale of failure, and confront its causes can we begin to restore empathy, humanity and trust to the systems families rely on.”

This is how children learn, doing, taking risks, moving, exploring, engaging. Children need yo be playing, connecting with other humans and having fun

🥳Children learn by doing and doing is noisy, untidy, messy and unpredictable. 🥳
