1/ I’m a survivor of child sexual abuse & I’m also a barrister, practising in the criminal law for 20 years. Before that I worked at a busy solicitor’s offices, regularly dealing with men accused of the most serious sexual offences against children.

2/ I‘ve worked helping to support women & their children, fighting to pick up the pieces of lives shattered by child sexual abuse. I’ve seen the cutting, suicide attempts & enduring, numbing trauma & devastation of complex PTSD & worse caused by sexual violation in childhood.
3/ Good quality, ethical & careful sex education can equip children with the tools to recognise that they are being sexually abused or groomed. Poor sex education can leave children without the guidance & support they need or worse, it can render them more vulnerable.
4/ What the Proud Trust, a so called LGBT charity has produced for RSE is a pornified, sex game for children that will be a delight to child sex offenders. It will encourage children to view sexual intimacy as just a series of acts, devoid of consent or intimacy.
5/ @GavinWilliamson please do your job. Pull this ‘game’ & conduct an investigation. All new RSE materials dealing with sex & gender should be suspended. The government must be more discerning when partnering with orgs. ‘LGBT’ is just an acronym & not a panacea.
