If you want to present at the DECP conference on ‘Applying Psychology to Challenge Inequity’ it would cost £243 to attend, £119 for accommodation and, £61.50 for the gala dinner (plus travel costs!)
That’s at least £423…to *speak at a conference* on *inequality*

CW: death.
A blog post about the sudden death of my father earlier this year.
I wrote it as an attempt to understand why we struggle so much to psychologically process experiences of death, dying and loss under late capitalism.
Enjoy(?)

Under neoliberalism, only what is measured and (made) measurable is valued.
If there has to be a regulator (still think Ofsted should be abolished), educators need to push them towards measuring factors important for the holistic development and wellbeing of CYP, not just memory tests!

Very interesting from @schoolsweek.bsky.social on @ofstednews.bsky.social and how they rarely highlight the (very well-evidenced) value of outdoor learning in their reports. #EduSky #EYFS

The Knowledge: Ofsted and outdoor learning
If we measure what we value, then Ofsted's reports suggest outdoor learnng isn't as important as they say

“How beautiful a day can be when kindness touches it.” George Elliston
It doesn’t need to be loud or planned.
Just real.
A kind glance. A thoughtful word. A pause to care.
And suddenly the day feels different – for us and for someone else.
🧡

Damage to young people caused by corporate schooling and behaviour policies which lack trauma informed, relational approaches is the bulk of my work… something has to give in order for the next generation to succeed
A range of issues damage child mental health in western nations. In summary: toxic corporate schooling, lack of time& place to play, dysfunctional relationships in over-stressed families& exposure to graphic pornography, violence& bullying online. #EduSky www.theguardian.com/society/2025...
Child mental health admissions to acute wards in England rise 65% in a decade
Hospital wards struggle to cope with rising cases of self-harm and eating disorders, the study warns

If you create a system in which schools are judged on exam results, academic subjects are prioritised, curriculum is narrowed and zero tolerance approaches are promoted, you're basically creating a system that becomes less inclusive by design.
