*** New Report ***

We have sent this independent report to press, peers, think tanks, @victor_madrigal at @UN & @Commonswomequ. We encourage you to read & send to your own schools, MPs & local safeguarding boards. We warn you it’s a difficult read. #SafeguardingFail #PolicyFail
Quote for press is: Tanya Carter Spokeswoman for Safe Schools Alliance said “This alarming, but sadly unsurprising, research sets out how long-established child safeguarding principles are being effectively dismantled. This leaves all children at risk…
Adults, professionally charged with the protection of children, have failed in their duty to identify this and this abdication of responsibility has left generations of children at risk of harm. Children are being left to navigate a minefield of predatory behaviour online…
without either protection or guidance. Those who have allowed this to happen must be identified and held to account by the global community.” For further quotes or interview email info@safeschoolsallianceuk.org. The report is a long and harrowing read so here are key findings
On page 6 you can see the thinking that led @Warwickshire_CC promoting the now withdrawn ‘all about me’ program that encouraged young primary children to masturbate. This was reported in the press at the time coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-… Image
Page 11 details the concerning framing that has been found around the Age of Consent. This is similar to the ambiguity seen in other recent global documents such as such as ‘8 March principles’ icj2.wpenginepowered.com/wp-content/upl… Image
Page 12 details where the line has been crossed from giving children factual and helpful information about their own bodies to encouraging masturbation. Image
Page 13 shows the abdication of adult responsibilities & the expectation that children should protect themselves from abuse & demonstrates who loopholes have been created for predators. Image
Page 14 shows how @BrightonHoveCC undermined established #Safeguarding practice referencing the @WHO document. This undermine of safeguarding is not an isolated occurrence as demonstrated by @Policy_Exchange recent report policyexchange.org.uk/publication/as… Image
Page 26 deals further with the cavalier attitude towards Age of Consent from both @WHO & @UNESCO. Safe Schools Alliance believes we should be moving towards global standards of an Age of consent of 18 for both marriage & heterosexual & homosexual sex. Under 18’s are children. Image
Page 30 discusses ‘sexual rights of children’. It should be noted UK governments key safeguarding document ‘keeping children safe in education’ is very clear that adults who can’t differentiate between adults & children are a risk. assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/upl… Image
Page 32 notes the clear push to override biological sex in law with ‘gender identity’. The implications of this for women, girls & those in need of protection for their sexual orientation are horrific. Image
Page 36 shows who ideology from @WHO & @UNESCO fed into the ‘Great relationships & sex education book’ from Hoyle & McGeeney & others. #SafeguardingFail #PolicyFail #CurriculumForWales #RSE #PSHEPeeps Image
McGeeney of course was involved in #CurriculumForWales a #Safeguarding nightmare that @WG_Education have yet to apologise for or extricate themselves from. @childcomwales
Following on from McGeeney being instrumental in provoking parents to attempts to sue @WG_Education @NSPCC thought she (& others) would be the ideal people to assist them in their own ongoing attempts to undermine effective #safeguarding https://t.co/HQHyOG4uGC
Page 45 and 46 deal with recommendations for government which we whole heartedly endorse. @WG_Education @10DowningStreet @UKParlEducation @UKParliament @educationgovuk @GillianKeegan ImageImage
If you can’t read the whole report, read the charts from page 51 onwards, that set out why this is all so incredibly concerning, why this IS an attack on #safeguarding itself & potentially the age of consent. ImageImageImageImage
If after reading all the charts at the back you STILL do not see the issues here, are STILL claiming this is ‘anti LGBT’ ‘anti #RSE’ ‘right wing’ or ‘pearl clutching’ you do not understand #safeguarding & you shouldn’t be working with children or on policy that affects them. ImageImageImageImage

*** New Post ***

On @BrookCharity & their ill advised plans to use “masturbation as a tool for sex education in #RSE.

A #PublicInquiry is required into why so many adults failed in their #safeguarding responsibilities to call out harmful materials.

safeschoolsallianceuk.net/2024/07/14/wha…
. @BrookCharity was one of 100 organisations to sign a letter objecting to @Conservatives & @educationgovuk attempts to safeguard children from their damaging & dangerous #RSE resources. We have previously raised concerns about many of the signatories. rshe.uk
@BrookCharity @Conservatives @educationgovuk The letter to @educationgovuk objecting to attempts to introduce safeguards to #RSE materials has been signed by @barnardos. We have previously critiqued their resources for a lack of safeguarding. #Edutwitter #WomenEd #SafeguardingFail safeschoolsallianceuk.net/sdm_downloads/…

‘ “My recommendation as @ChildrensComm is that we need a #SafeguardingFirst approach to #RSHE & that is the way through this current impasse that seems to be in place because of very polarised views to how sex education should be taught.’

We are pleased to see @Rachel_deSouza finally agree with us. We have been advocating for the importance of safeguarding first #RSE for a very long time, perhaps now she will meet with us to discuss this? #Edutwitter #WomenEd
. @Rachel_deSouza says “I cannot see that anybody would think that children shouldn’t be taught the basics of sex education & how to keep themselves safe.” Nor can we Rachel, with the caveat that #safeguarding is an adult responsibility that should never be abdicated to children.
But that’s not what this is about, is it @Rachel_deSouza? When we have spoken to parents who tell us they’re against #RSE, discussion reveals that actually they have no concerns with their children being taught things such as puberty & reproduction. Their objections are to unscientific & anti #safeguarding materials that have been allowed to flood an unregulated market. Profit should have never been allowed to trump child protection. #Edutwitter #WomenEd

Joshua Sutcliffe: We have seen many of you supporting Mr Sutcliffe.
We absolutely do not.
Here is why:
We apply #safeguarding to everyone, equally. ‘Misgendering’ is not the main issue here.
#Edutwitter #SafeguardingFail #LGBT #PSHEPeeps dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…
We agree with family law barrister @SVPhillimore. Breaching a child’s confidentiality on TV is unacceptable. We would like to read the judgement in full, but if that would also expose an individual child, it should not be published. We always prioritise #safeguarding children.
We have been made aware of this blog. All at Safe Schools Alliance find these views abhorrent. That does not mean he should not be allowed to express them. However, conflating gay & non-marital sex with rape & paedophilia is a #safeguarding concern. joshuasutcliffe.com/homosexuality

Thread for ‘but is this happening in schools’ #Edutwitter. Yes it is. Firstly personal testimony: “the school nurse had referred her to the school counsellor [who] informed [her] that a hatred of one’s breasts could be an indicator of a non-binary” safeschoolsallianceuk.net/our-stories/ou…
More testimony: “I am utterly horrified at what was taught at a PSHE lesson at my school recently. It was to a group of children, most are 11-12 years old. It is so, so much worse than I thought.” #Edutwitter #DiverseEd #LGBT

safeschoolsallianceuk.net/our-stories/ou…
More personal testimony: “We did request to see their transgender policy and it was kafkaesque – it repeatedly conflated sex & gender… & downplayed the effects of binders, blockers and hormones” #Edutwitter #WomeEd #PSHEPeeps

. @BrookCharity is one of the providers we frequently hear complaints about from both parents & teachers. Advising children to watch porn is not what they were expecting from #RSE. They want children taught about harms & how to have a healthy relationships as adults. #edutwitter ImageImage
To be clear what people are taking issue with, is not porn being discussed with teenagers, it is the seeming to recommend it, rather than educating on the inherent harms & exploitation. #edutwitter #WomenEd #PSHEPeeps @Miss_Snuffy @CEASEorgUK @RealGeoffBarton @BrookCharity ImageImageImage
This is what we have written on porn. Why are you not educating children on the harms & exploitation in porn @BrookCharity? Children deserve accurate information. #Edutwitter #WomenEd #PSHEPeeps safeschoolsallianceuk.net/2021/04/11/por…

Welcome to all our new followers! We have just passed 18k. Please look round our website to find out more about us. We are a grassroots group of mainly parents & teachers with no funding, religious or political affiliations. #Edutwitter #Safeguarding safeschoolsallianceuk.net
We first got together 4 years ago when we joined together over a passionate commitment to upholding #safeguarding & correct interpretation of the equality act in our schools. Worryingly our first campaign featured a @NSPCC #safeguardingfail safeschoolsallianceuk.net/2019/06/07/ssa…
Since then we have run many successful campaigns to protect children from inappropriate & politically biased materials, such as this from @BBC_Teach that bizarrely informed children that there were ‘over 100 different genders’ safeschoolsallianceuk.net/2019/09/04/ssa…
