Some of the most useful peer support happens in person - a hand at an appointment, a check-in, an hour of company. We want those meetings to be safe and straightforward for both sides. A few sensible habits do most of the work: keep the first exchanges in writing, meet somewhere public if you can, agree scope and payment up front, and trust your gut - you can pause or cancel any time. Full guide:

This isn’t really about anger.
It’s about what survival does to a person when safety has always felt temporary.

Raw. Human. Unfiltered.

Some families are not dangerous.

They are traumatised.
Exhausted.
Hypervigilant.
Trying to survive while being assessed at the same time.

There is a difference between distress and danger.
And systems need to learn it.

Hi 👋

I’m Charlie.

I write about the gap between safeguarding systems, trauma, autism, survival, and what real lived experience actually feels like underneath the paperwork.

Not from textbooks.
From living it.

You’ll probably find:
• raw honesty
• reflections on social work & safeguarding
• autism/ADHD family life
• nervous system survival
• writing projects
• uncomfortable truths people usually avoid

I’m not here to be polished.
I’m here to be real.

Remember when we Queers were fighting for Marriage Equality and the bigots were crying that acknowledging Queer love would degrade the institution of Marriage?

Anyway, let's see what the Straights are up too.......oh my!

Hello (again) Mastodon! 👋 I’m an international educator, psychology grad, and "pracademic" focused on #InternationalEducation.

Psychological and physical safety is a prerequisite for learning. Yet, #ChildProtection is complex and culturally nuanced. I apply academic research to the daily realities of #Safeguarding in schools.

Excited to connect with peers and build safer communities together.

Today is #EarthDay - If there is one thing educators in England can do - that's respond to the #KCSIE #Safeguarding consultation and make sure the harm that #ClimateChange is bringing into our schools is recognised. The deadline is TODAY (how fitting!)
