Last day of June so we will be finishing off with a week of #SafeguardingFail s from the inbox.
Day 1: Contrary to legislation a #Cambridgeshire school has responded “it is not viable to provide copies of all curriculum materials to parents” to being asked to share resources.
Day 1: Contrary to legislation a #Cambridgeshire school has responded “it is not viable to provide copies of all curriculum materials to parents” to being asked to share resources.
Day 2: Again a refusal to share materials with parents on request, this time school in north of England. ‘Copyright’ was given as the excuse this time. As has been confirmed in today’s #RSEDebate this is incorrect. #SafeguardingFail #PSHEPeeps
Day 3: A school in the south of England has invited the school of sexuality in to discuss pleasure & make playdough vaginas with year 8 girls. They are denying to parents that they have the right to withdraw their children from these lessons. #SafeguardingFail #RSEDebate #PSHE
Day 4: Again south of England a school arranged a dress up for #pride Day & bring in donations for the controversial educate & celebrate charity, led by the even more controversial Peter Tatchell. Yr 8’a were seen wearing cats ears and saying they were furries. #SafeguardingFail
Day 5: A primary school in England told small children men can have babies too. They have not even responded to parental emails of complaint. #SafeguardingFail #PSHEPeeps #PrimaryRocks
Day 6: School in south of England has organised a residential for yr 9’s with mixed sex overnight accommodation. Again ignoring parental complaints. #SafeguardingFail #edutwitter #WomenEd
Day 7: Again south of England (they’re not doing well this week) a college thinks they have the right to refuse to correspond with parents of a 16 year old, bizarrely they also think they can refuse to take a formal complaint about this undermining of Parental responsibility.
It is encouraging to end #SafeguardingFail month on a positive. These multiple failings are finally seeing sunlight in a parliamentary debate thanks to Miriam Cates @RosieDuffield1 & @JackieDP. #WomenEd #RSE #PSHE #PSHEpeeps
For July we will be doing #PolicyFail month. If your school has a policy that undermines #safeguarding breaks the law or misrepresents the Equality Act email it to info@safeschoolsallianceuk.org & we will tweet it out. #SafeguardingFail #edutwitter #WomenEd #PSHEpeeps #RSE #LGBT
