THREAD Welcome to our new followers. Thank you for joining us on our mission to uphold #safeguarding & ensure all children grow up safe from maltreatment in the best possible circumstances so they may have a successful outcome in life. This is who we are: safeschoolsallianceuk.net/who-we-are/
If you have any questions, look here. We receive no public money, all work & research is completed by volunteers. The only money we have is donations from the public which we are grateful for, these are spent on the website, resources & attending events. safeschoolsallianceuk.net/frequently-ask…
You can read some personal stories on how we all came to be involved here. If you have a story you’d like us to share please email us on info@safeschoolsallianceuk.org #edutwitter #womenEd #parenting #parents #UKgovchat #Teachers #teachertwitter safeschoolsallianceuk.net/our-stories/
If you’re looking to get more involved yourself you can contact your MP @educationgovuk @Ofstednews @EHRC @ChildrensComm & ask them to uphold #safeguarding. Check polices at your school & council. There are ideas here: safeschoolsallianceuk.net/get-involved/
If when you #CheckYourSchool you find that they have policies that undermine #safeguarding we have resources to help challenge them. #educational #edutwitter #ukedchat #DiverseEd #Resources #teachertwitter #teacher5oclockclub #parenting safeschoolsallianceuk.net/schools-resour…
We have lots of resources, campaigns & commentary on our website to help with upholding & understanding #safeguarding. Like this piece on the #SheldonReport Have a look around.

We challenge organisations such as @Girlguiding on their failure to uphold #safeguarding. No one is beyond scrutiny. This is a basic of safeguarding. Thinking any individual or group is beyond suspicion is a safeguarding fail. safeschoolsallianceuk.net/2021/11/02/gir…
We have published information on the dangers of porn to children. And successfully campaigned against it being inappropriately promoted to children. #everyonesinvited

We regularly appear on radio and TV and speak to Parliamentarians in an effort to improve public understanding of #safeguarding for all children. This would not have been possible without all the public support we have received. safeschoolsallianceuk.net/on-radio/
We also regularly appear in print media, we are often approached for comment on national #Safeguarding concerns. If you are aware of failings that need to be brought to public attention, get in touch.

We have supported successful legal action against @OxfordshireCC & ensured ‘arguably unlawful’ materials were withdrawn. Sadly there continue to be issues in Oxon & we continue to support parents there & elsewhere. safeschoolsallianceuk.net/legal-action-a…
None of this would be possible without the huge amount of support we receive & the hours of unpaid work our volunteers put in. If you would like to help us with our work, you can donate here. END safeschoolsallianceuk.net/donate/

We have recently been approached for advice on raising safeguarding concerns about individuals. The best way to raise concerns is always by following procedures. Presently there are a lot of concerns about frameworks failing & concerns being ignored, resulting in #whistleblowing
Obviously it is best if concerns about individuals & policies are raised direct with their organisation & are immediately dealt with. Widespread failures to deal with concerns have resulted in people taking to social media. We are preparing a new guide to assist, until then…
This is a good read. It is aimed at schools but there are lessons here for all individuals & organisations on raising, dealing with & recording concerns. Everybody must be free to raise concerns, no matter how small. Those concerns must be taken seriously & recorded.

THREAD Dear @PerthandKinross @UKGovScotland @EducationScot @NicolaSturgeon this is abhorrent. We have been contacted by many parents, this is what one Mum who was herself sexually abused as a child has to say: #edutwitter #WomenEd #safeguarding
“ If you are a child being sexually abused/raped then how on earth do you process trying to answer these questions?”
“How do you answer whether you have had sexual intercourse? Do they mean what is happening to you? Do you lie even though you have been taught to tell the truth? Will you be in trouble? Will anyone find out?”

Really disappointed to see you supporting homophobia & misogyny @clarebalding Did you check these resources before promoting? They undermine #safeguarding, misrepresent the law & deny same sex attraction.
Did you mean to support political indoctrination of children, in breach of the 1996 Education Act @clarebalding?

1. Children questioning whether they are trans need shielding from content on @CBBC & Childline, a mother has said…
Both the @BBC & the @NSPCC, which runs Childline, have come in for criticism for providing a one-sided view of transitioning.” #LGBT

2. We have reviewed the guidance provided by @NSPCC (lesson resources and guidelines) and @childline (guidance on their website). We have concerns with the content they have produced. See our report here: safeschoolsallianceuk.net/resources-2/fa…
3. Let’s look at all the ways their resources breach @educationgovuk This thread includes examples and is not exhaustive. Read the full guide for a thorough analysis.

THREAD
It is #RainbowDay of #SchoolDiversityWeek. Here is a roundup of all the issues with @JustLikeUsUK’s resources. We first wrote to @GavinWilliamson expressing concerns a year ago. It is very worrying to see
@educationgovuk still promoting them.

KS1 (age 5-7) maths resources which seem to be more about indoctrination than improving mathematics skills in small children.

#SchoolDiversityWeek

Irresponsible attitude towards suicide. Imagine being a teen just realising you are same sex attracted & being told this means you may kill yourself? Or being told being black means you may kill yourself? Where are the @samaritans?

“Supporting trans pupils in school” from @JustLikeUsUK for #SchoolDiversityWeek

They state ‘do not share this document with staff outside of your school’. We wonder why?

Is it because it undermines #safeguarding? Breaches guidance & law or says biological sex is a spectrum?
#SchoolDiversityWeek promotion of puberty blockers taking no account of #KeiraBell ruling. Repeated conflation of sex with gender.

#WomenEd #Teachertwitter #edutwitter
More misrepresentations of the law and undermining of #safeguarding from @justlikeus for #SchoolDiversity week. Advising hiding of child’s sex & mixed sex facilities, leaving schools open to legal action.
