Reading Simon Jarrett's history of 50 years of British Journal of Learning Disabilities. Flags were raised in the journal nearly 40 years ago about prison-like units. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11…
The #WhorltonHall Four.
Convicted of abusing people with learning disabilities and autistic people.
Yet they only received suspended prison sentences.
Beyond grim Ministry of Justice and not justice at all.
This is a really powerful piece.

Here's my take in Community Living Magazine on 'Never Have I Ever' on Netflix. A good series but in my opinion they got it wrong with the role they gave to their learning disabled character. communitylivingmagazine.com/insipid-charac…
Liverpool University Press Simon Jarrett Historic England Smashing this is out. And just in time for me to put on the reading list for my disability history class that starts next week. Nice one Simon! Congrats on the fab achievement.
A history of disability in England by Simon Jarrett is available now! From the integrated societies of the medieval period to the institutionalisation of the 19th and 20th centuries, this book holds important lessons for inclusion in modern society. bit.ly/3S2q8eJ
When a Labour MP celebrates blocking five homes for people with learning disabilities on the basis they would undermine community cohesion, what hope is there of ever seeing such citizens embraced in the heart of our society? My i newspaper column inews.co.uk/opinion/mp-cel…
