#Mermaids are trending following new guidance from @educationgovuk making clear that mermaids are not suitable to train #teachers & #schools. All policies that they or organisations partnered with them have consulted on must now be reviewed.

Schools must ensure they are not the next target of litigation by ensuring they are adhering to @educationgovuk latest guidance & not socially transitioning students or using affirmation only policies.

*** Mandatory reporting ***

Mandatory reporting is absolutely not use if ALL professionals (& the public) are not educated as to what actually is abuse & #CSA.

As we have been saying for a long time there are serious systemic #safeguarding failures in this country.

There is a widespread lack of understanding with regards to what safeguarding actually is & how it should be implemented.

We support the victims & whistleblowers in their assertion that previous inquiries have been insufficient & that there is the need for a comprehensive inquiry into the rape gangs #GroomingGangs which it would appear needs to go back to the 70’s or even 60’s.

If the Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer thinks that everyone who is concerned about this issue is ‘far right’ he has an insufficient understanding of #safeguarding & silencing techniques used & is ill equipped to tackle this issue. He will end up participating further in a cover up. Every single person who has tried to raise this issue over the past several decades has been ignored. That includes the Sikh community, feminists, @UKLabour MP’s, @Conservatives MP’s, parents, the far right, the Muslim community & most abhorrently of all the victims themselves.

The victims have been failed again & again & again, including by the people who have claimed to help them & instead have manipulated them for their own ends. Victims have said that #RSE that helped them recognise #grooming & know where to turn for help would’ve been useful to them. Instead of providing future generations of children with this, this has been cynically exploited by ‘sex positive’ grifters who have flooded schools with inappropriate materials & website links that groomed instead of helped vulnerable children & exposed them to inappropriate content & further sexualised them. Of course the same tired silencing techniques of yelling ‘far right’ & making libellous allegations that people were trying to ‘ban sex education’ were deployed against the #Whistleblowers of this further scandal.

A specific inquiry on rape gangs (held in public with statutory powers) is not the only #PublicInquiry needed. Other incredibly serious safeguarding failures are ongoing due to the same cultural problems & lack of understanding of safeguarding.

We have failed, as a society to protect children, especially the most vulnerable & this must now be addressed.

#Edutwitter #RestoreSafeguarding
We have been calling out #Safeguarding failures for years & will continue to do so.

We recently met with @educationgovuk

#RestoreSafeguarding #WomenEd #Edutwitter

safeschoolsallianceuk.net/2024/12/17/dep…
@educationgovuk We have written several articles challenging the various ways in which #safeguarding is undermined & inevitably this undermining is enabled by well meaning yet misinformed people.

*** New Post ***

On @BrookCharity & their ill advised plans to use “masturbation as a tool for sex education in #RSE.

A #PublicInquiry is required into why so many adults failed in their #safeguarding responsibilities to call out harmful materials.

safeschoolsallianceuk.net/2024/07/14/wha…
. @BrookCharity was one of 100 organisations to sign a letter objecting to @Conservatives & @educationgovuk attempts to safeguard children from their damaging & dangerous #RSE resources. We have previously raised concerns about many of the signatories. rshe.uk
@BrookCharity @Conservatives @educationgovuk The letter to @educationgovuk objecting to attempts to introduce safeguards to #RSE materials has been signed by @barnardos. We have previously critiqued their resources for a lack of safeguarding. #Edutwitter #WomenEd #SafeguardingFail safeschoolsallianceuk.net/sdm_downloads/…

‘ “My recommendation as @ChildrensComm is that we need a #SafeguardingFirst approach to #RSHE & that is the way through this current impasse that seems to be in place because of very polarised views to how sex education should be taught.’

We are pleased to see @Rachel_deSouza finally agree with us. We have been advocating for the importance of safeguarding first #RSE for a very long time, perhaps now she will meet with us to discuss this? #Edutwitter #WomenEd
. @Rachel_deSouza says “I cannot see that anybody would think that children shouldn’t be taught the basics of sex education & how to keep themselves safe.” Nor can we Rachel, with the caveat that #safeguarding is an adult responsibility that should never be abdicated to children.
But that’s not what this is about, is it @Rachel_deSouza? When we have spoken to parents who tell us they’re against #RSE, discussion reveals that actually they have no concerns with their children being taught things such as puberty & reproduction. Their objections are to unscientific & anti #safeguarding materials that have been allowed to flood an unregulated market. Profit should have never been allowed to trump child protection. #Edutwitter #WomenEd

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.
#Edutwitter #SafeguardingFail #LGBT #PSHEPeeps dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…
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

*** New Report ***

We have sent this independent report to press, peers, think tanks, @victor_madrigal at @UN & @Commonswomequ. We encourage you to read & send to your own schools, MPs & local safeguarding boards. We warn you it’s a difficult read. #SafeguardingFail #PolicyFail
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…

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

safeschoolsallianceuk.net/our-stories/ou…
More personal testimony: “We did request to see their transgender policy and it was kafkaesque – it repeatedly conflated sex & gender… & downplayed the effects of binders, blockers and hormones” #Edutwitter #WomeEd #PSHEPeeps
