love how British Airways have left me, a mobily impaired customer essentially stranded at Brussels airport after having to queue for over an hour (i cannot stand for more than 20 mins) Absolutely unacceptable standards of care towards all but especially those who are disabled.

The government has indefinitely extended the ban on all puberty delaying treatments outside of an NHS study. Full statement: mermaidsuk.org.uk/news/statement… If you need support: - Mermaids: Mon-Fri, 1pm-8:30pm, 0808 801 0400 - Switchboard LGBT+: Every day, 10am-10pm, 0800 0119 100

My guide to puberty for BISH includes all genders and is great (and also calls for the UK ban on 'puberty blockers' to be lifted). bishuk.com/bodies/puberty/

Pleased to sign this Labour For Trans Rights letter as LGBT rep on CWU NEC asking Wes Streeting to reverse the ban on puberty blockers

🔺 How does it feel to grow up in frontline Sumy, less than 30 kilometers from the Russian border? Our co-founder, Olena Rozvadovska, visited the city where we launched offline support for children and families through a mobile team at the end of last year.

Delighted to be in Munich for the #ECSWR2025 with Sarah Donnelly & to share Implications for gerontological #socialwork from my PhD research at the European Network for Gerontological Social Work SIG event. UCDSocialPolWorkJust

2nd day at #ECSWR2025 and what a day. Presented my poster, listened to some great presentations & made connections with some brilliant researchers. So grateful for this opportunity

Hadn’t realised this was the #Kharkiv region before and am coming to understand more about the regional organisation of Social Work services in Ukraine BASW NTU School of Social Sciences

Top 4 moments of #ECSWR2025 1) Politically astute keynotes on a) postfascism & rise of far right by Prof Marcin Boryczko, Gdańsk Uni & IFSW Europe President, and b) on disruption as both creative and a risk to human rights/ equality by Prof Fabian Kessl, Wuppertal U, Germany

Outcome: the need for anti-fascist SW. 2) My top paper (amid 20 great papers on child protection & 4 on posthumanism) was Melinda Madew (& Jason Leung) on how Igorot Indigenous People of the Philippines see Land as Life (not something to be sold!) & great posters! NTU Research

Top message: the need for Antifascist SW #ECSWR2025 (worth breaking my X fast for) 2) Top paper (amidst 25 child protection & 4 posthumanism etc) was Melinda Madew (& Jason Leung) on how Igorots, Indigenous People of Cordilleras, Philippines see Land as Life (not sthg 2B sold)

✨ Happy World Social Work Day! ✨ Today we proudly stand together with social workers across the globe to celebrate #WSWD2025 A day to acknowledge & show appreciation for the hard work, care & dedication of social workers everywhere. Thank you for all you do everyday.

Around a million people will lose maybe £5,000 a year from these 'reforms'. The gainers will receive a pittance. This was not in Labour's manifesto. It is not the change people voted for. It is immoral.

There's a lot of chatter about young men, sexual violence and online. There is a crowdfunded #SexEd resource, BISH with thousands of young men visiting every day getting helpful, solidaristic, inclusive guidance. Please support it bishuk.com/uncategorized/…

Great posters @ECSWR2025 by colleagues and ex colleagues who it was lovely to catch up with. New links with safeguarding researchers internationally. And 2 FANTASTIC things I saw in München: both with real resonance today: White Rose Resistance museum @WeisseRoseStiftung e.V.

And finally, the high point: the Pussy Riot exhibition at the Kunsthaus (art museum) “Velvet Terrorism. Pussy Riot’s Russia” on the protests,imprisonments, legal violations and spirit of resistance
