THREAD We are absolutely appalled at this latest ineptitude from @educationgovuk. This is not a ‘political flashpoint’ or a ‘culture war’ this is (once again) a serious, national failing of #safeguarding. @kitmalthouse as education secretary you need… thetimes.co.uk/article/006ef0…
to take a #safeguardingfirst approach. Not use highly vulnerable children as a political football using soundbites such as ‘common sense’. The @Conservatives have overseen the worst medical, child safeguarding & lobbying scandal, all rolled into one, this country has ever seen.
While this has unfolded before our eyes & members of the public have tirelessly done the job of @NSPCC, who have been in complete dereliction of duty, @UKLabour have also been missing in action & with notable exceptions such as @RosieDuffield1 & @ToniaAntoniazzi they have…
entirely failed to stand up for children, for women, for democracy & for what is right. These latest vapid statements would be unacceptable at any time, to see them trotted out during a week that sees revelation, after revelation of serious #safeguarding failings from child sex..
change charity #Mermaids is simply staggering. Where is the @ChildrensComm in all this? We have written to her, repeatedly. We have written to & met with everyone repeatedly & we are met with absolute moral cowardice as the nations children suffer. Everyone must now stand up…
& once again write to their MP & @kitmalthouse & DEMAND that a #safeguardingfirst approach is taken. Anything less is simply unacceptable. We will not compromise on the welfare of children. END #edutwitter #WomenEd #UKEdChat #safeguardingfail #policyfail safeschoolsallianceuk.net/2022/09/25/dfe…

Informative speech from @SuellaBraverman to @Policy_Exchange. Stella’s stated aim was to provide ‘legal clarity’ Here are some highlights from her speech where she talks of her concern at laws being ‘misinterpreted’.

#edutwitter #WomenEd
@SuellaBraverman has seen many concerning examples of inclusion being used to trump fairness & incorrect interpretations of Equality Act 2010
@SuellaBraverman is clear that in England & Wales we do not have a system of ‘self ID’ for obtaining a gender recognition certificate.

THREAD Thank you @nmdacosta. We too were surprised to hear this. We all remember her dismal performance on the @MumsnetTowers where she refused to answer urgent questions on child #safeguarding. The only thing worse than Penny’s performance was when @NSPCC refused to show up.
Here are some of the questions we’ve been waiting since 2019 for @PennyMordaunt to answer:

1) Could you tell us more about [the enquiry into the rise in young girls experiencing gender dysphoria] and when the findings are likely to be released?  Three years later we do have…
the interim @thecassreview, but we don’t believe this is any thanks to Penny. The harm we read about, daily in our inbox continues to be devastating. #safeguardingfail #policyfail safeschoolsallianceuk.net/2022/03/26/the…

THREAD Yesterday Miriam Cates MP alongside @RosieDuffield1 @JackieDP secured an #RSEDebate. Opening speech here “The internet presents children with a vast array of false & damaging information about sex” #SafeguardingDisaster
Many of the #SafeguardingFail s we have hi-lighted over the past few years were included, alongside concerns raised by groups @Transgendertrd @BayswaterSG @ParentsForED @FamEdTrust. If you are new to these shocking failures we have links to further info on the cases mentioned.
BISH & School of Sexuality were mentioned, they both feature in our parents guide to #RSE & #PSHE (school of sexuality was previously sexplain) #edutwitter safeschoolsallianceuk.net/wp-content/upl…

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 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

Thread
1) Following a parent webinar last night of Oxfordshire schools in association with @OfficialFFLAG we need a whole thread to detail this #SafeguardingFail. Not once during the hour long webinar was #safeguarding mentioned.
2) Instead we were treated to incorrect & alarming suicide/self-harm statistics - no wonder parents are terrified of getting this wrong. There were recommendations for Mermaids, Gendered Intelligence, The Proud Trust & Intercom Trust. All organisations which raise red flags.
3) Teachers from within the partnership did share "difficult" questions but the answers were concerning. Should lesbians be allowed to exclude trans girls from their dating pool on account of them being male? "Oh, that is a difficult question to answer". It really shouldn't be.

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…
