I was shocked when I saw a similar statement on Hampshire's threshold document where "Children with disabilities" comes under the heading"Reasonable suspicions of abuse"https://twitter.com/TinaRodwell1/status/1041623126298304512 …

Fellow who put it out has a business selling safeguarding/PREVENT training to schools. Used to be the head of a school in a long-standing psych hospital, so basically an ATU mentality, I'm guessing - see @MarkNeary1's blog for all the convolutions of thought & reality there.pic.twitter.com/SPbHcFoqCT
Very interesting. I got approached by somebody about a job doing something presented as a 'safeguarding' function through a private co. (set up by ex police), working with schools. Basically searching for reasons to refer more kids to SS. I declined - not so respectfully.
I've since written to Social Services to say I am henceforth forbidding them from the private areas of my house, *and* from asking in future to access them: I consider it disproportionate given the reasons for G's CIN status and an infringement of my Art 8 rights.
Not heard peep from them since.
I should think not. The power trip some are on is quite a thing to behold sometimes. Well done for pushing back. Delicate balance, I realise.
No idea what they would make of us. My kids don't have own beds, nor their own rooms. I mean two rooms between 3, but mostly they sleep together by choice touring beds & rooms. Sometimes they sleep in with me. Sleeping alone is not preference of most adults so why kids have to?
G is hooked up to machines at night, so bed-hopping isn't viable. Ours slept with us when they were little but mostly stayed in their own beds from when when they were about 7 (G's machines came along a couple of years later).
My eldest bed-hopper is 12. Most of the world have people they love sleeping close. It is only our culture who simultaneously rip kids s part whilst greasy g about attachment difficulties.
Got grief from certain quarters when G was a baby: "Don't you ever put that child down?" Nope, that's what slings are *for*, and G is not going to be wasting cuddle-time on you, either, so don't even think of asking to 'have a hold'.
Kids moved to their own rooms in their own time. G announced one day that 'I am going to sleep in my dreen (green) room' and that was that - apart from bedtime stories, and morning cuddles, and "I had a bad dream, come pack in with me".
