THREAD

Another must-read @M_Star_Online article on the damaging effects of porn.

Porn culture has been allowed to seep into sex education and is extremely harmful to children. This must be challenged immediately. #RSE #Safeguarding

@Warwickshire_CC

The ‘Respect Yourself’ resource used by @Warwickshire_CC falsely presents itself as helpful guidance for teens.

In reality, it is filled with boundary-erasing, pro-porn, pro-prostitution propaganda which raises a multitude of safeguarding issues.

'Respect Yourself' uses woke language to obfuscate the inappropriate nature of its advice to children on sex & relationships.

Have those responsible for this material been deceived by pseudo-progressive jargon? Or is this a deliberate attempt to weaken children's boundaries?

@Warwickshire_CC

Inappropriate resources such as @Warwickshire_CC's ‘Respect Yourself’ result in objections to ALL forms of sex education.

This is dangerous.

Children need biologically-accurate, age-appropriate information regarding sex, puberty, relationships & their legal rights in order to recognise abusive and harmful situations. This is a crucial aspect of #safeguarding and #RSE.

@Warwickshire_CC

@Warwickshire_CC's 'All About Me' primary sex ed features lessons on ‘self-stimulation’.

Whilst children of an appropriate age should know that masturbation is normal, no adult should actively encourage or teach children to partake in sexual activity.

Sadly, we live in a society where violent & degrading pornography is one click away from young children.

As adults we do need to be able to discuss this with children.

Sex education must focus on the harm caused by pornography, not promote it.

bbc.in/2o3AQq1

Failure to tackle the porn-addled society we live in has led to an epidemic of young girls being subjected to sexual abuse in their own bedrooms.

This is a national scandal which we must address. #CSA #CSE #safeguarding

@GailDines

We highly recommend the work of @GailDines of @CultureReframed.

This is an excellent resource for parents & teachers looking to understand the world that children & young people are growing up in.

@warwickuni

Abhorrent behaviour and abuse has been normalised by rape & porn culture.

The @warwickuni WhatsApp scandal is indicative of the institutional failure to tackle rape culture. #shameonyouwarwick

Children & young people deserve better.

@warwickuni

@warwickuni overlooks rape & abuse. @Warwickshire_CC endorses boundary-erasing sex education. What is going on in #Warwickshire?!

MPs must act on this.

@CareQualityComm

The @CareQualityComm inspection report which found @TaviAndPort #GIDS service to be ‘inadequate’ is a truly shocking read. We are appalled at the spin that this is just about waiting times. It is not. This is a #safeguarding scandal. Full report here:

api.cqc.org.uk/public/v1/repo…

Questions must be asked (and answered) about why so many children were experiencing distress around gender in the first place. What has gone wrong in our society? Why are we failing to challenge gender stereotypes? What are children looking at online?

#edutwitter #safeguarding

@CareQualityComm

The regulatory capture in our society has gone so far that even the @CareQualityComm report into this scandal uses highly contested, ideological language such as ‘assigned sex at birth’. This must stop. Sex is observed at birth, usually by medical professionals.

We are belatedly entering the hearing.

Ian Wise is setting out arguments.

#StopStonewall

Ian Wise:

Transgenderism is very controversial territory. ‘Perceived by the victim’ very controversial.

References the Miller case. Complaint could be made by third party.

#StopStonewall

Ian Wise:

A comment that is ‘perceived’ to be transphobic.

In the Miller case this led to police action which was found to be unlawful.

THREAD
We have been sent these screenshots from a Facebook group of teachers unofficially affiliated with a major union.

We are disturbed to see this misinformation and lack of understanding of safeguarding being circulated.

We agree that it is important for school staff to be mindful of any trans-identified student in their care, suffering from mental distress (or any students experiencing mental distress for whatever reason).

We understand that the #KeiraBell case will have caused distress to some, especially given the dangerous narrative being irresponsibly pushed that this will make children suicidal and was an attack on their rights, not an action to safeguard and protect them.

Safe Schools Alliance believe that school should be a safe environment for children to learn to discuss difficult issues respectfully, allowing for differences of opinion.

thetimes.co.uk/article/girl-1…

There will be serious knock-on effects for the rest of society if children are not given the opportunity to have open, honest and respectful discussions, and to be able to ‘agree to disagree’ with others.

crowdjustice.com/case/miss-b/

Children should not be criminalised unless absolutely necessary; robust school policies that place safeguarding at their core, and acknowledge that children may need guidance in learning these skills, are best placed to deal with ‘non-crime hate incidents’.

@MarcusRashford

It is heartening how many individuals & businesses have responded to @MarcusRashford’s appeal to help children needing #FSM over half term. It is really encouraging that many people care about keeping children safe & healthy so they can grow up in the best possible circumstances

#safeguarding must always come first though. We are alarmed at some of the offers of help we have seen. We must not normalise unsafe practises such as encouraging online contact from kids, going to meet adults they don’t know & taking gifts from strangers. Safeguards must be used

We know people want to help but this must be done safely or the consequences could be severe. Sadly children have frequently been groomed with food. The guardian has reported here. Boys are more usually groomed into the drug trade. #ENDCHILDFOODPOVERTY
