THREAD Once again we are deeply disappointed with @NEUnion's understanding of #safeguarding. The NEU is once again putting politics ahead of what is in the best interests of children. Their latest statement on conversion therapy demonstrates this acutely. neu.org.uk/press-releases…
The @NEUnion statement is full of generalisations & ignores all evidence & considered responses to the consultation that have been put forward by groups concerned about children's welfare. #conversiontherapy #edutwitter #womenEd #teachertwitter #UKEdChat #safeguarding #SLTChat
We would urge @MaryBoustedNEU to read our statement where we explain very clearly why including gender identity in this bill would harm children #safeguarding #edutwitter #WomenED #conversiontherapy safeschoolsallianceuk.net/2022/04/01/gen…
We hear daily from parents, teachers & other professionals involved in the education & wellbeing of children who are concerned: they feel that the concept of “gender identity” has become an emotive & highly-charged topic which makes it very difficult to talk about in a way…
that centres the child’s best interests. We know that parents & teachers have been desperately worried that the conversion therapy bill would criminalise professionals who offered clinical & emotional support & therapy to distressed children.
@thecassreview was very clear about the responsibilities schools hold. We would be very happy to meet with @MaryBoustedNEU and @cyclingkev to once again represent views from their members who feel too intimidated to share more openly.
