'Disclosure' is vital and a key reason why IICSA needed statutory status. An extract from Mandate Now speaking to James O'Brien on #LBC 6/11/14.

Many abusees were calling for the change. But she wasn't listening. The noise increased. audioboom.com/posts/4323312-… via @Audioboom
An invitation was extended to Mandate Now to attend a meeting in the Oval with the Home Secretary. An agenda was hastily assembled among the attendees and voted on by the group. Changing the inquiry's status to statutory was unanimously agreed. Why? Disclosure
In her statement to the House on 4.2.15 the Home Secretary conferred statutory status on the inquiry. hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/2015-0… Quite why it was ever started as a panel Inquiry one has to wonder. As we know, further disruptions happened but the #IICSAfinalreport arrives tomorrow

(📢) Our post embargo thread on the recommendations made in the #IICSAfinalreport, including the expected #IICSAbigticket recommendation for the introduction of well-designed #MandatoryReporting of child sexual abuse by those working in #RegulatedActivities starts shortly.
1/ #MR of #CSA exists in most jurisdictions in the rest of the world. Empirical evidence and data demonstrate it's a vital component of significantly improved safeguarding in complex institutional settings. So why do Eng + Wal not have it?
2/ The short answer is that the safeguarding framework, as created by the Dept of Education, is dominated by 'neglect' in the family. It is then panel beaten into a framework that is misapplied to complex institutional settings which have entirely different demands. ImageImage

The evidence of @jimgamble to #religiousorganisationsandsettings hearing @InquiryCSA was compelling. School registration is crucial for the welfare of children and good staff. Well-designed #MandatoryReporting reporting is also a vital *component* of functioning safeguarding /1
Fiona Scolding QC asked about paragraph 31 of Baumgarten's statement. Can you spot an answer her question?
"People in positions where disclosure is mandatory ..." - could you tell me what you mean by that? Clearly Baumgarten is oceanically unfamiliar with the subject /2 Image
Para 31 from his statement is below together with footnote 21. It asserts 'mandatory disclosure' exists. But it doesn't except for FGM. Baumgarten swerves away from the subject as the transcript demonstrates and is not again taken back to the question. /3 Image
