Pleased to see this important issue receiving attention. Use of inconsistent and euphemistic language for restraint can obscure reality of school restraint practices for families - eg ‘calm room’ for empty padded seclusion room.
DfE-commissioned research on how reasonable force, restraint and restrictive practices are used in APs and special schools was released yesterday. I had a read to pick notable insights and how they could inform future guidance - #8 is very notable. tes.com/magazine/analysis/sp…

Such a great event with challenging speakers and opportunities to share our passion for Early Childhood. I was so proud of my students who presented their posters about aspects of sustainability in childhood. They were professional and knowledgeable about their chosen area🤩
What lovely feedback 🤩 Thank you @AaronTeamEC for taking part as speaker and in the discussions. This is exactly what @TheVoiceOfEC aims to do - bring together contrasting opinions in a respectful and professional way 🙌🏽 #thevoiceofearlychildhood #earlychildhood #earlyyears

10years ago today, at this hour, life changed for the family of LB, Connor Sparrowhawk, when he died in the bath at the ATU which was supposed to be caring for him. While staff were in the office doing an online Tesco order. #JusticeforLB #Epilepsy #DeathByIndifference
