My son Joseph was repeatedly physically restrained by staff at school when he was just 5 years old. One time in the prone position over the threshold of the door. He now has trauma and can't attend school. šŸ’”. We filed a complaint, and it was upheld. Despite this, no one has been

This is such an important film — not just for awareness, but for understanding. I hope I Swear helps change the way people see Tourette syndrome and leads to more compassion and acceptance for my boys and so many others who live with it every single day. šŸ’š. It’s based on the.

My son Frankie and I spent two days filming in Milngavie, so thrilled to finally see the trailer for I Swear. It looks incredibly emotional. Johnny’s lived experience, passion and advocacy have made a huge impact—he’s been an incredible ambassador and educator for Tourette.

The PABSS Report 2025 is one of the most important documents on children’s rights in Scotland. It exposes the routine restraint & seclusion of disabled children—some as young as 2. This must be a turning point. šŸ“„ Read the full report: #CalumsLaw.

When it takes two grown adults to physically restrain a three-year-old, let’s be clear: you’ve not just failed as a professional, you’ve failed as a human being. A toddler ā€œplaying aggressively with a fire engineā€ or ā€œeating sandā€ does not justify restraint. This is not support.

A NURSERY school child "played aggressively with the fire engine and ate sand". Staff decided that was a "last resort" and used a 2 person restraint hold. Nothing in the incident reports which would justify this treatment of a 3 yr old autistic child. #CalumsLaw.#UNCRC

Our family is living through the consequences of a system that claims to support neurodivergent children, but blocks them at every turn. Our eldest, now 12, has had an NHS diagnosis of Tourette’s since he was 5, yet due to a catalogue of failures between the NHS and his school,.

Let’s be clear: The Scottish Government have effectively privatised diagnosis and treatment of ADHD. People without a diagnosis have no choices so if CAHMs isn't the right route, when will the Government tell us what is?
