Joshua Sutcliffe: We have seen many of you supporting Mr Sutcliffe.
We absolutely do not.
Here is why:
We apply #safeguarding to everyone, equally. ‘Misgendering’ is not the main issue here.

We agree with family law barrister @SVPhillimore. Breaching a child’s confidentiality on TV is unacceptable. We would like to read the judgement in full, but if that would also expose an individual child, it should not be published. We always prioritise #safeguarding children.
We have been made aware of this blog. All at Safe Schools Alliance find these views abhorrent. That does not mean he should not be allowed to express them. However, conflating gay & non-marital sex with rape & paedophilia is a #safeguarding concern. joshuasutcliffe.com/homosexuality
Yesterday we sent a letter to @CareInspect about Guidance on the inclusion of transgender including non-binary young people

Here is what we had to say a🧵
We believe it presents a serious risk to the wellbeing of vulnerable children & young people & have requested its immediate withdrawal.
We identified the following
1. Concerns about LGBT Youth Scotland
2 Lack of Safeguarding
3 Breaches of the Health & Social Care Standards

LGBT Youth Scotland are currently being investigated by @PoliceScotland for grooming and historical abuse
A complaint was made by @sos_scotland to @ScotCharityReg for practices which breached safeguarding & were subsequently given advice by OSCR

This is a serious failure of duty.
The body that should oversee the care of looked-after children in Scotland has issued a trans policy that will put these vulnerable children in danger of harm.

Children in care were over-represented at GIDS. Looked-after children suffer above average mental health issues, bereavement, sexual and emotional abuse. But @CareInspect ignores the Cass Review's call for caution in diagnosing these children as 'trans.'

The guide is a political document, based on all the demands of LGBT+ lobbyists.
*Access to the spaces of their chosen 'gender'
*New pronouns to be enforced
*Help with name changes for under 16s
*Help to get on a medical pathway
*LGBT+ posters & flags in care homes

We thought we were beyond being shocked, but this document from @CareInspect is possibly the most willfully dangerous & wickedly irresponsible we have ever seen.
If you think that is hyperbole, believe us, it doesn't touch the edges #safeguardingfail

Cared-for children really are among the most vulnerable in society. They often have mental health issues & are at risk of exploitation & abuse.
They are over-represented in GIDS. This is something that concerns responsible people - but not @CareInspect

This morning, the chair of @scotbioethics wrote that children were being betrayed by being pushed onto a pathway of medication many would come to regret. He highlighted that depression, past trauma and family breakdown are common. #Safeguardingfail

Quote for press is: Tanya Carter Spokeswoman for Safe Schools Alliance said “This alarming, but sadly unsurprising, research sets out how long-established child safeguarding principles are being effectively dismantled. This leaves all children at risk…
Adults, professionally charged with the protection of children, have failed in their duty to identify this and this abdication of responsibility has left generations of children at risk of harm. Children are being left to navigate a minefield of predatory behaviour online…
@NSFTtweets Thank you. This should not have taken 2 1/2 years to correct. We look forward to hearing the @NSFTtweets Board answers to our other questions at or before the Board meeting on the 6 April.
@NSFTtweets Single sex wards are an issue of safety for women and girls.

Now the work starts.
Question 2: What steps will the @NSFTtweets Board take to correct the 2022 #Equality, #Diversity and #Inclusion Strategy & all trust communications and policies?

Thread for ‘but is this happening in schools’ #Edutwitter. Yes it is. Firstly personal testimony: “the school nurse had referred her to the school counsellor [who] informed [her] that a hatred of one’s breasts could be an indicator of a non-binary” safeschoolsallianceuk.net/our-stories/ou…
More testimony: “I am utterly horrified at what was taught at a PSHE lesson at my school recently. It was to a group of children, most are 11-12 years old. It is so, so much worse than I thought.” #Edutwitter #DiverseEd #LGBT

Welcome to all our new followers! We have just passed 18k. Please look round our website to find out more about us. We are a grassroots group of mainly parents & teachers with no funding, religious or political affiliations. #Edutwitter #Safeguarding safeschoolsallianceuk.net
We first got together 4 years ago when we joined together over a passionate commitment to upholding #safeguarding & correct interpretation of the equality act in our schools. Worryingly our first campaign featured a @NSPCC #safeguardingfail safeschoolsallianceuk.net/2019/06/07/ssa…
Since then we have run many successful campaigns to protect children from inappropriate & politically biased materials, such as this from @BBC_Teach that bizarrely informed children that there were ‘over 100 different genders’ safeschoolsallianceuk.net/2019/09/04/ssa…
The @Tate recently invited a “storytime drag queen” to perform a half-term show for children. Here is a short thread 🧵explaing why #WRN think drag queens should not be performing for children, with links to articles in support of the arguments

Drag queens should not be reading or telling stories to children. The performances are touted as being family friendly, but this article by Emma Thomas sets out why this is not true:

@HeadWarriorTWM @JamesEsses @Baroness_Nichol Bad safeguarding failure by the National Autism Society.
@Autism knew children & adults with autism are vulnerable to gender ideology and said so. They were then bullied by Mermaids & did a reverse ferret.
They have failed to act on @thecassreview .

@HeadWarriorTWM @JamesEsses @Baroness_Nichol @Autism @thecassreview .@Autism said they were not experts and removed information referring people to Mermaids. They were harrassed and bullied to reinstate it.
Thereafter they have strongly promoted gender identity ideology.

“Queer Theory is an academic field of study that aims to dismantle accepted social norms. This may not seem immediately concerning. However in this field any idea can be – and is – challenged, including the idea that children should not be sexually active.” #CurriculumForWales
“Queer Theory challenges boundaries that are put in place to preserve ‘oppressive’ ideas such as the importance of child safeguarding. This academic discussion is not something that should be allowed to direct the way schools teach children.” #CurriculumForWales #RSE #edutwitter
THREAD We are absolutely appalled at this latest ineptitude from @educationgovuk. This is not a ‘political flashpoint’ or a ‘culture war’ this is (once again) a serious, national failing of #safeguarding. @kitmalthouse as education secretary you need… thetimes.co.uk/article/006ef0…
to take a #safeguardingfirst approach. Not use highly vulnerable children as a political football using soundbites such as ‘common sense’. The @Conservatives have overseen the worst medical, child safeguarding & lobbying scandal, all rolled into one, this country has ever seen.
While this has unfolded before our eyes & members of the public have tirelessly done the job of @NSPCC, who have been in complete dereliction of duty, @UKLabour have also been missing in action & with notable exceptions such as @RosieDuffield1 & @ToniaAntoniazzi they have…
It is concerning that staff of the charity @LGBTYS, who provide training to schools & sit as partners for the national anti-bullying agency, Respect Me, are uncritically showing solidarity with the charity Mermaids, who are under investigation for #SafeguardingFail’s
This isn’t just a rogue worker, several others appear to agree.
We would have assumed that best practice for an influential organisation like LGBTYS would be to wait for the investigation to be conducted & confirmation that risk of harm has been mitigated.

Vulnerable young people use the chat function to speak to youth workers at LGBTYS, & I think we can assume that the signposting to Mermaids will continue, after seeing this show of solidarity, despite the concerning #Safeguarding risks being investigated. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-630816…
A 🧵on why #NoToSelfID is important right now. On 27 October @scotgov will vote to reform the Gender Recognition Act #GRA If the vote goes through this removes the need for a medical diagnosis of gender dysphoria & people can self declare the gender they wish to live as /1
@scotgov and @ShonaRobison have told us that no man would declare himself to be something he isn't to access vulnerable women & children. We know this is not true. There are numerous examples where this had happened.
THREAD Thank you @nmdacosta. We too were surprised to hear this. We all remember her dismal performance on the @MumsnetTowers where she refused to answer urgent questions on child #safeguarding. The only thing worse than Penny’s performance was when @NSPCC refused to show up.
Here are some of the questions we’ve been waiting since 2019 for @PennyMordaunt to answer:
1) Could you tell us more about [the enquiry into the rise in young girls experiencing gender dysphoria] and when the findings are likely to be released? Three years later we do have…

THREAD Yesterday Miriam Cates MP alongside @RosieDuffield1 @JackieDP secured an #RSEDebate. Opening speech here “The internet presents children with a vast array of false & damaging information about sex” #SafeguardingDisaster
Many of the #SafeguardingFail s we have hi-lighted over the past few years were included, alongside concerns raised by groups @Transgendertrd @BayswaterSG @ParentsForED @FamEdTrust. If you are new to these shocking failures we have links to further info on the cases mentioned.
BISH & School of Sexuality were mentioned, they both feature in our parents guide to #RSE & #PSHE (school of sexuality was previously sexplain) #edutwitter safeschoolsallianceuk.net/wp-content/upl…
Last day of June so we will be finishing off with a week of #SafeguardingFail s from the inbox.
Day 1: Contrary to legislation a #Cambridgeshire school has responded “it is not viable to provide copies of all curriculum materials to parents” to being asked to share resources.
Day 1: Contrary to legislation a #Cambridgeshire school has responded “it is not viable to provide copies of all curriculum materials to parents” to being asked to share resources.
Day 2: Again a refusal to share materials with parents on request, this time school in north of England. ‘Copyright’ was given as the excuse this time. As has been confirmed in today’s #RSEDebate this is incorrect. #SafeguardingFail #PSHEPeeps
Day 3: A school in the south of England has invited the school of sexuality in to discuss pleasure & make playdough vaginas with year 8 girls. They are denying to parents that they have the right to withdraw their children from these lessons. #SafeguardingFail #RSEDebate #PSHE
Thread
1) Following a parent webinar last night of Oxfordshire schools in association with @OfficialFFLAG we need a whole thread to detail this #SafeguardingFail. Not once during the hour long webinar was #safeguarding mentioned.

2) Instead we were treated to incorrect & alarming suicide/self-harm statistics - no wonder parents are terrified of getting this wrong. There were recommendations for Mermaids, Gendered Intelligence, The Proud Trust & Intercom Trust. All organisations which raise red flags.
3) Teachers from within the partnership did share "difficult" questions but the answers were concerning. Should lesbians be allowed to exclude trans girls from their dating pool on account of them being male? "Oh, that is a difficult question to answer". It really shouldn't be.
