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.

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’.
#edutwitter
The previous @cpsuk hate crime pack criminalised girls who objected to males in the girls’ toilets – this was a clear safeguarding concern as it removed girls’ boundaries & criminalised them for protecting their existing sex-based rights.

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.

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

.@Stephen__Adams writes about @bbcbitesize Pronouns article

We have made a formal complaint to the BBC.

dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8…
Tanya Carter says : “The BBC is promoting a damaging ideology to children. In so doing, they are breaching their own guidelines on editorial impartiality and the 1996 Education Act, which stipulates that an education provider cannot promote a political ideology to children”.

@bbcbitesize deleting your tweet & then retweeting with replies disabled is not a solution to you promoting political ideology to children. This is against new @educationgovuk guidelines. We will be writing to @GavinWilliamson & @BBC to complain. @Baroness_Nichol @Tanni_GT #LGBT
This is also still available on the @bbcbitesize Facebook page. It has not been well received. @KateGreenSU @KemiBadenoch @LordPhilofBrum @BBradley_Mans @JackieDP @RosieDuffield1 #edutwitter #WomenED #SLTchat #NQT #ukedchat #teamenglish #LGBT #safeguarding facebook.com/12896626378036…
The image chosen to illustrate the article on twitter & Facebook appears to show a mixed sex changing room. Mixed sex changing undermines #safeguarding.Here is the full article from @bbcbitesize. There are a number of concerns with the article itself. bbc.in/3mbwd66

Clear explanation of what the new @educationgovuk guidelines mean for schools. By @heymrshallahan for @tes.

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.
