One of our supporters has successfully challenged her children’s school on their use of the Genderbread figure in #RSE. This graphic goes against latest @educationgovuk guidelines.

The new @educationgovuk guidelines state that external resources used by schools must be ‘evidence-based’ & that ‘materials which suggest that non-conformity to gender stereotypes should be seen as synonymous with having a different gender identity should not be used’ #edutwitter
We thank her for sharing this so that other #parents & #teachers are able to adapt for their own use. We are a grassroots movement who rely on sharing skills & resources. Please see previous thread incorporating concerning use of the genderbread graphic.

Safe Schools Alliance support good quality inclusive #RSE & #PSHE for all children. This must be biologically accurate, #safeguarding compliant & correctly represent U.K. law. The materials we have seen from many providers do not do this.
It is the responsibility of each individual school to ensure the suitability of any resources that they use with pupils. They must also comprehensively consult with parents. We will be releasing more guidance shortly on which organisations do not comply with new guidelines.

We are pleased to see that this @educationgovuk guidance is largely in line with our own resources. We have a selection of factsheets & template letters on our website to assist teachers & parents assessing materials.

This guidance stresses the importance of consulting with parents. It is in the best interests of children when schools & parents work together and there is transparency about what is being taught & how. #Safeguarding children is the responsibility of every adult in the community.

ALL children deserve
#safeguarding. Safeguarding is the responsibility of ALL adults in society. ALL adults should be subject to safeguard checks & scrutiny. Objecting to safeguarding enables the abuse & harm of children. Must read @VictoriaPeckham #CSE

The clips we have seen from #cutiesnetflix are appalling. Drawing attention to #CSE should not involve exploiting more children. Talking about ‘child sexuality’ is boundary pushing. Anybody defending this as an unsuitable person to be working with children
We have repeatedly raised concerns about unregulated groups, who clearly do not understand the importance of #safeguarding seeking access to vulnerable children. Being #LGBT does not exempt you from scrutiny. ALL children should be kept safe
