Use your CPD budget where it matters most. šŸ“ŒSAFEGUARDING ≠ SUPPORT.Most social workers assessing disabled children aren’t trained in:• Disability needs• Human Rights law• Family support.This leads to parent blame. Be part of the CHANGE.#SocialWork #ParentBlame #FII #Trauma

Cathie unpacks the common misunderstandings that can lead professionals down a path of blame rather than curiosity and collaboration. Cathie’s work highlights asking deeper questions: .What might really be going on for this family? . šŸŽ« #FII #Conference.

It often starts subtly: professionals questioning a child’s needs, doubting a parent’s account of their struggles, or blaming families for a child’s inability to attend school.

When we understand how the brain works more specifically the limbic system we can support our young people differently. #emotionalregulation #Education #parenting #limbicsystem #behaviour

As a parent of a neurodivergent or additional needs child, it’s so important to redefine what self-care means and it starts with noticing when your own needs are being overlooked.
