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.

Safe Schools Alliance have always been of the opinion that judging whether a child is a ‘girl’ or a ‘boy’ based on their hobbies, interests & dress sense, rather than their biological sex is regressive & damaging. All children should be supported to be themselves.

Safe Schools Alliance consider campaigning for women & girls to lose their sex based rights an extreme political position. We therefore recommend schools don’t work with Stonewall.

We also believe that Stonewall are guilty of; ‘Promoting divisive or victim narratives that are harmful to British society’. They have never acknowledged a clear clash of rights. We question why @educationgovuk still link to them & why so many schools are Stonewall ‘champions’.
