The Despondent SEN mum @Sencircus23

theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/a… The agency worker caring for Ruth had been found guilty of gross negligence manslaughter by a jury although he has fled the country to escape justice The agency worker had never worked at any hospital before the day he was put in charge of observing Ruth , did not receive an induction before his shift and had also used a stolen identity The charity @INQUEST_ORG , which has supported Ruth’s family, expressed concern that the inquest focused on individual failings rather than systemic ones such as the lack of therapeutic care for children, inadequate staff training and out-of-area placements. It said: “The focus has fallen on individual failures, not the deep-rooted issues plaguing Huntercombe and children’s mental health services nationally. Until we face those head-on, more children like Ruth will die.” Ian Wade KC, an assistant coroner, said there had been an “abject failure” by Acheampong to observe Ruth. Dr Amit Chatterjee, the chief medical officer at Active Care Group, which owned and ran Huntercombe, told the inquest that the company had worked hard to improve recruitment and its induction process. And it appears @ThamesVP have no intention of dragging the agency worker back to face justice, despite knowing his true identity and despite a jury making findings on gross negligence man slaughter in inquest court @ShabanaMahmood @CPSUK

Mum calls for change after daughter's suicide bbc.in/3WtlQhI

NEW POST: Parents of disabled children traumatised by the public bodies that should be supporting them. “Families have to be ‘beyond reasonable’ @catrionamoore13 writes, because it’s all too easy to be labelled “difficult” with the ensuing consequences specialneedsjungle.com/parents-disabl…

@martinimarie Hello all, does anyone have experience of carers in the home? My daughter is due to return home from a CAMHS unit in the next few weeks. Currently discussing care package with SS. Never had carers before so will be a big adjustment for us.

My sweet Sammy has left this world but please support "Sammy's Foundation" and join us in this journey of change and hope for others. Thankyou to everybody who has donated so far. Your help is making such a difference. 🙏❤️

My beautiful son joins the roll call of children and young, vulnerable people killed by ignorance and callousness. I still can’t believe what was done. There will be many more because there is no will to protect them.

If parents are not listened to, another child, like sweet Sammy, could die. On Day 1 of his inquest, I read out my emotional 40 page witness statement. We needed 40 pages to document all the neglect, torment, abuse & refusals. 💔 #neglect #childloss #sammy4change

@BarclaysUKHelp But unfortunately there are never any video banking appointments available after school hours.

Today, following the inquest of Caitlyn Scott-Lee we joined @Autism @PAPYRUS_Charity @tellmi_helps @samaritans & @YoungMindsUK to write an open letter to @Gov to highlight the increased risk of suicide that autistic people face and call for urgent action: bit.ly/44pqy3J

On SNJ Today: A former council SEND manager tells how she was paid to go quietly after six months in her role for raising concerns about language used by senior colleagues about disabled children and their families: “He’d be cheaper in long-term care’ specialneedsjungle.com/cheaper-long-t…

Madeleine, 8, was rejected by every school her council approached - because she has autism. She has now joined a growing number of children whose parents are instead given money to pay for educational activities outside of school. trib.al/potebxN

Thank you everyone who has shared, commented and complained about the conduct of the Cllrs at the @Warwickshire_CC scrutiny meeting. I've been made aware that Cllr Golby has claimed that the sharing of her comments and the offensive and hurt this has caused is "harassment". She blocked me after I shared my thread so I haven't seen her statement. I have seen no harassment, only shock and hurt. Elected Officials should be held to a high standard. When they fail in their duties, break their code of conduct and cause harm to the people they represent, they should be held to account. This would be the case in any position but it is especially important in politics. It may have been a shock to Cllr Golby to be held to account over her actions. A knee jerk defensive response has followed. She should now reflect on her actions and whether she is the right person to represent her constituents. I hope an apology will follow.

@toady The fear of losing my job constantly looms over me with each new crisis. Just adds to the stress.

#CAMHS Child under crisis team due to suicide attempts and self harm….the support offer…a 4 week online parenting course - during work hours of course, because sen parents don’t have bills to pay apparently. #sen

@jennipisces Yes after the first ten or so I started to figure that out 😂 think I should deliver the courses at this point.

@glamvicar Oh Sharon 💔 how disgusting they would continue to gaslight you after such an unimaginable tragedy x
