@NatWei @bphillipsonMP Plz watch I’m CEO of @HarmlessCiC the centre of excellence for #selfharm & #suicideprevention The children’s wellbeing & school bill is dangerous 47% of youth suicide preceded by academic pressure Fix the system b4 you limit educational choice

Don’t reduce choice without having a safe alternative. Many children fare far better outside of the school setting. For many this is a matter of life or death. The children’s wellbeing and schools bill is a disaster waiting to happen.

The new bill will -reduce parental right & choice to an all time low -introduce discriminatory processes against home educating families -does not account for current education failings -fails to acknowledge that many kids are safer not in school

New character incoming

When I established @HarmlessUK in 2007 I never envisaged that it would become what it has. Tomorrow we host our annual conference. There will be almost 300 people in attendance. That is incredible. Just incredible. Here is the room ready and waiting.

Ty to all the special colleagues & friends & my wonderful team at @HarmlessUK for joining us at tonight’s pre-conference dinner. I hope it has been rich with conversation & I look forward to sharing the day with you tomorrow..we are the backbone of suicide prevention efforts

This year we will be taking a look at how we can continue to be effective even in the face of reduced resources. But we need to be resourceful with what we’ve got.

Last year you asked for more on this- so let’s do it. Autistic individuals need tailored interventions, so let’s start here. Join us
