This is shocking news, and the suggestion that this perp might be free to continue to practice is, of course, a huge safeguarding issue. I did some digging…
It’s a good thing that the @The_HCPC has a clear process to check if someone has an “active” registration. This is always a good thing to check!
@The_HCPC So he still has an “active” registration, which means he could still work with children and adults, despite his conviction for child sex offences? Surely this can’t be true, thought I, so I checked the current hearings section. hcpc-uk.org/concerns/heari…
@The_HCPC And I discovered that thankfully, the @hcpc elves have been hard at work, and have scheduled a hearing for an “interim order”, which will be taking place tomorrow.
@The_HCPC @hcpc This “interim order”, if granted (and I cannot see that it would be successfully challenged) will prevent Canade from practice whilst a full “Fitness to Practice” investigation is carried out
@The_HCPC @hcpc This process is how someone is removed from the Register, where there is a clear safeguarding issue with their remaining free to practise. I hope this reassures everybody worried (for good reason) about this man having contact with vulnerable children through his work
@The_HCPC @hcpc Questions remain such as “why was an interim order not applied for, when charges were brought?” And I hope to be able to do some more digging, and find out.

I’m in the waiting room for the Tribunal hearing to decide whether an Interim Order is made against Rosario Canadé (Dr Ross Canadé) from the @TaviAndPort
I hope I’ll be given permission to Live-Tweet (not yet confirmed).

I’m also going to make a video, which will be uploaded to my YouTube Channel,
and I’ll be summarising on my free Substack.youtube.com/@ClaireFeminist
I tweeted yesterday, about my concern that this man remained on the HCPC Register, until now.
I’m in. Introductions all around

The experience of a #LetWomenSpeak event is so powerful. The voices of the extraordinary “ordinary women” are each other’s inspiration. We don’t need academic feminists or professional lobbyists, because we have TRUTH.
I can imagine this feels threatening to academic feminists, politicians, professional lobbyists etc, because they rely on being the mediating voices between Power and the powerless. But they only have the power we give them. What happens when we don’t need them, anymore?
Imagine believing that extraordinary “ordinary women” need your insights, your organising, your pontifications, rather than noticing things about their own lives and having the courage and opportunity to speak out
When I was working in Acute Mental Health Inpatient Care, I had lots of training in managing violence and aggression. Managing risk involved all sorts of strategies we were not allowed to share with muggles. We were still advised to avoid physical confrontation at any cost
The biggest piece of advice was to never let anyone block your escape route, because your life may depend on being able to escape. This saved me from several dangerous situations visiting unwell people in their own homes, too
The use of physical interventions to protect ourselves and our colleagues as well as inpatients (from themselves and each other), was far less frequent on the women’s wards than on the men’s wards. But we never even attempted full restraint unless there were 6 of us
.@AlessandraAster has consistently argued for women’s rights, and for #RepealTheGRA. She exposed the misogyny of Government decisions to grant an “F” marker in passports, under self ID, and suggested a legal route to be reverse it. I’ve never witnessed her being homophobic
I have bought (and read) Andrew Doyle’s books, and think he is a clever and thoughtful gent. He really didn’t enjoy feeling so many women expressing disagreement with his position on feminine pronoun use for men. Who would? It must feel discombobulating, on that scale
I didn’t witness Alessandra behave inappropriately during that conversation. Indeed, I’ve never seen her behave inappropriately in any online conversation. It’s possible that Andrew’s perception of her comments was influenced by his experience of wide-scale disagreement
Ok. I’m going to do a thread on this ridiculousness, because perhaps it might explain how very fucking tired we are of all the bloody excuses #LabourLosingWomen theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
First thing that raised my hackles:
“Responsible politicians would understand that this isn’t a debate to exploit, it’s people’s lives. Who they are and who, all too frequently, they suffer violence for being.”
Men kill 2 or 3 Uk women every week, along with 1 in 4 women experiencing domestic violence refuge.org.uk/what-is-domest…
There’s so much naked envy of KJK. Envy that she is beholden to no employer, no profession, and (recently!) no mortgage provider. It’s a truly privileged position to be in: that’s true! But the proof of the pudding is in the eating…
What does KJK do with the freedom from job, regulator, and bank? How does she choose to spend her time? She works for women. Every day. She doesn’t engage in direct service provision for abused women: that’s not her skill set. She markets ideas. And she’s genius at it
I can tell you, from experience, that building a YouTube channel takes daily grind. The filming is the least of it. I am in AWE at the work that KJK is doing, to create so much YouTube content, every week. Most of it speaking off the cuff. Very few people can do this
