"The advice being given to schools by Stonewall is dangerous and unlawful" - Naomi Cunningham, barrister.
Stonewall School Champion schools need to re-assess Stonewall training, or lay themselves open to legal action for indirect discrimination.

The government dept to give Stonewall the largest grant was the Department for Education who gave £934,424 between 2015-16 and 2018-19.
The Foreign & Commonwealth Office and Welsh government were second and third, giving £660,028 and £552,326 respectively.
thetimes.co.uk/article/taxpay…
The TaxPayers’ Alliance calculated the government gave Stonewall at least £2,616,102 between 2015-2019...in addition to funds raised through other schemes in which employers, including 250 gov depts & public bodies, pay subscriptions to be endorsed as an LGBT-friendly workplace.
"Schools and colleges pay Stonewall to advise them on what to do, for example, when a child wants to change gender."
"“Stonewall is charging people to put in practice Stonewall law, rather than UK law,” Stephanie Davies-Arai, founder of Transgender Trend, said."

The updated Allsorts trans inclusion schools toolkit must be scrutinised as Stonewall's guidance has been. If schools do not consider the needs and rights of girls they lay themselves open to legal challenge for indirect discrimination. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9…
"Councillor Hannah Clare, chairwoman of the committee, said 'This is an important element of work to ensure all pupils in our city's schools feel safe and supported."
'We want all pupils to feel comfortable in their own skin."
Except girls?
"A consultation with trans children and young people prior to the guidance being published found that many will choose gender-neutral toilets for 'fear of bullying or harassment'."
But no consultation with girls who are disproportionately disadvantaged by such policies?

"Most students felt that the relationships, sex and health education (RSHE) they received at school did not give them the information and advice they needed to navigate the reality of their situations."
On today's damning report from @Ofstednews.

bbc.co.uk/news/education…
At every school Ofsted visited young people reported a significant problem, "it wasn't in some, it was in all of them" - Amanda Spielman.
"The Department for Education says teachers and school leaders will be better supported to recognise sexual harassment and abuse and teach confidently about issues of consent, online pornography and healthy relationships."

Evidence of Stonewall's attempt to get @BluskyeAllison sacked from her Chambers is revealed.
"Judge Stout refers to a “threat” from Stonewall to “remove” the barrister from Garden Court Chambers."
Garden Court is a Stonewall Diversity Champion.
telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/06/0…
“[It] plainly seeks to put pressure on Chambers to take action against the Claimant, indeed to the extent of urging Chambers to remove the Claimant from Chambers..."
"...and accompanies that with a threat about the ongoing relationship between Chambers and Stonewall itself if Chambers does not take action.”

Workplace LGBT networks have such power over workplace policies. But they haven't just sprung out of nowhere. It is also no coincidence that there are suddenly pupil-led LGBT clubs in schools.
One of the conditions for achieving a Stonewall School Champion secondary school Gold award is that pupils are "actively involved in school anti-bullying work and supporting LGBT young people eg. through LGBT groups." transgendertrend.com/stonewall-scho…
This is what happens when children teach children. "In a statement, the school said the newsletter, written by the LGBTQ+ student society, aims to “inform and promote understanding of LGBTQ+ issues”." thetimes.co.uk/article/913e7f…

This is very welcome news and we salute @trussliz for taking a stand and making the right decision. No government department can be truly impartial while tied to a political lobby group. thetimes.co.uk/article/a49372…
We have been pointing out Stonewall's misrepresentation of the Equality Act and guidance that contravenes the latest government RSE guidelines for a long time now. Read our Stonewall report here.
transgendertrend.com/product/stonew…
We have written about how Stonewall School Champion schools put themselves at risk of legal challenge if they follow Stonewall's advice, and we have provided a letter for parents to take into their child's school to help them challenge Stonewall's advice. transgendertrend.com/stonewall-scho…
