Excited (and nervous!) to be joining Holy Cross academies, in Coventry, for their mission day focusing on how we protect our planet for future generations.
Children and young people tell us loudly that this matters to them - great to be thinking today with over 400 teachers!

Very excited to be speaking at the EPMC community learning day on 9th January.
I've often held off talking about my personal experiences in a professional context, but the state of the system makes it more urgent.
"What does the welfare system take from families"
See you there #edpsychs

Trying to soak up as much as I can about consultation at the moment so this has come at the perfect time! 🤓
🌟New blog post
Does consultation leave EPs ready to meet the challenges we face in 2025? From rampant inequality and austerity to exclusionary politics.
How do we ensure our practice isn't just all talk?
Sean considers this and more in this excellent read: edpsy.org.uk/blog/2025/al...

I've been doing walking thesis supervision with trainee EPs for nearly 10 years now - and it so completely changes the vibe and nature of the conversation.
