The recommended reading list for secondary children is on page 11. It includes a link to gal-dem.com. One of the first videos on the website opens with the actress saying ‘How do you want to fuck tonight, Daddy?’
It is an important case to follow for any #schools & #teachers working with Stonewall. The CPS ‘hate crimes’ schools pack, produced in conjunction with #Stonewall has now been permanently withdrawn, but the judicial review of the relationship between CPS...

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:
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?
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 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.
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
