So now it’s a ‘binder outreach service’ @LushLtd ? Does your head office have any idea what your Paddington store is doing? Well, the local children’s safeguarding boards soon will.
So your Paddington store is going to be cemented as an ‘ongoing’ service to children? I would be interested to see your risk and safeguarding assessments, which I am sure exist <cough>
As you claim to be the ‘only’ such service and have been providing binders to persons of age unspecified since at least June, then I assume your safeguarding assessment is a model of its kind that you can share for the benefit of others?
And where are the accounts please? As you aren’t doing any of this for free. How much money are you making and what are you doing with it?
So just exactly what risks to physical safety do you accept exist with use of binders? What is your process for assessment of child competence for any consumers under 16?
How many children using your service have experienced this?

Policing Panel! Luke Gittos is first. Changed his speech because of what he saw last night - footage of 2 police officers who ask a person ‘what’s that around your neck’ - a Star of David. Police say it risks antagonising protestors. Is it right to question someone about their religious dress? His original speech was mild mannered but now is time for anger #BattleFest
We have to say this ends now. The police don’t see how their power affects real people. See it as necessary step. Police have become an ugly beaurocratic machine.
But we do risk undermining the ability to recreate a police force that works. Need to have serious thought about foundations of police.
The judicial review against the decision to register Gender Plus as ‘safe’ to give cross sex hormones to teenagers fails.
UK courts continue to ignore the massive Elephant in the room, which is the lack of evidence base for this serious and irreversible medical intervention for children. This is not a matter of reasonable difference of opinion or for private practice to profit from. This is not safe.
Part of the problem, not grappled with by court. Clinicians in this area have gone bad. This isn’t ’reasonable disagreement’, it’s harming children. sussex.ics.nhs.uk/wp-content/upl…
I am trying to listen to this as I mop the kitchen floor. So I must be a woman?
It gets off to a very poor start. Mostyn unctuously introducing HK as a ‘beautiful feminist’. Of course Charlie F gets no such intro. HK simpers. And then they are off, referring to the ‘Equalities Act’.
Not sure if I will make it through but by god this floor will be clean.
At 6 mins in Mostyn confidently opines that this judgment only applies to 8k people with a GRC. The implications are of course much wider than this. Perhaps they will go on to talk of the problems caused by the Stonewallification of the law?
I had always thought Mostyn’s USP was a keen legal brain. It is not a sign of acuity to make such confident misrepresentation.
About 10 mins in ALL they can talk about is ‘passing’, how this is so unfair to those who underwent full transition 30 years ago and you ‘just can’t tell’. If they don’t move on to discuss the many thousands of men who identify as women and who have undertaken no modifications whatsoever, this podcast will be revealed as the hollow sham I suspect it already is.
Discussion of the proposed new duty to promote EDI - to deal with failings at the Bar re recruitment, harassment and lack of inclusion. Do these proposals mandate agreement with contested principles?
Purpose of tonight is to set out a range of discussions.
Deadline to respond to consultation is 29 Nov.
BSB rep begins by giving account of proposals and why we should support them. Consultation published at start of Sep, we are still consulting. We propose outcome focus - very different to current equality rules. Has been some improvements at the Bar re EDI but barriers persist re recruitment, retention, bullying and harassment.
BSB propose a 'positive action duty' to act in a way that 'advances' EDI and set out outcomes we want to see achieved. It's about taking reasonable steps to achieve outcomes. To create accountability and transparency and a framework to meet outcomes. Only applies to self employed Bar.
