In light of certain accusations made today, it seems appropriate to reiterate this part of Tanya’s WDI UK speech: “Do not entertain accusations that you are a prude or far right or racist or transphobic or a homophobe. You are not, and nobody actually believes that, they just

This appalling case once again demonstrated the importance of the mantra “#Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility” Thank you to everyone who saw that something was wrong & spoke up. We really hope that this child has now been removed to a place of safety. Well done to

What is the endgame of removing sex and age references? Under the guise of 'diversity' it's the removal of all categories, including childhood. This is why you see 'young person' in schools trans guidance, medical literature and media. So we forget this 'person' is a child.

A one-month-old girl in The Gambia has died after being subjected to FGM. This is not culture or tradition — it is violence and a grave violation of human rights. FGM kills an estimated 44,320 girls and young women every year — one every 12 minutes. In The Gambia, prevalence

This is utterly irresponsible Bridget Phillipson. This is not an employment rights issue, this is a #safeguarding issue. Adults wishing to use children for their own validation, ie inflicting the ludicrous notion that they are neither male or female on them, do not belong in schools.

Teachers requesting/expecting the school community to join in with the falsification of their sex is incompatible with Department for Education Teachers Standards. How can requirements of Part 2: Personal & Professional Conduct be met? assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5a750668…

Everyone who works in/enters a school should be subject to #SaferRecruitment. This was introduced after #BichardInquiry (IanHuntley was the caretaker). Why is this so poorly understood? #Edutwitter #WomenEd

If you live in Godalming your local council just gave £1500 of your money to an organisation whose founder and CEO (until last year) drugged and then raped a 12 year old boy. His two exes now run the organisation which isn’t at all concerning. Obviously.

They’ll pretend to be your friend, they’ll pretend to be your political ally, they’ll make themselves indispensable to your organisation, they’re prepared to wait years. #Safeguarding applies to everyone - especially those you know & trust. #Edutwitter #WomenEd

Neale Hanvey ALBA🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 On induction into Children's Services, was told 6/100 people on Social Work course are predators Whether children & YP, or vulnerable adults They groom us all, not just their prey Keep their heads down, largely above suspicion, they have a whole career of abuse ahead of them!

Kindly Help! Following the avoidable death of the one-month-old Gambian girl, an anti-FGM advocate has asked for our anti-FGM handbooks in Mandinka or Wolof, but we are yet to translate to such languages, and so, she wants the English version! She said, 'This is the opportunity

Safe Schools Alliance The nicest men I met, when I visited women with small children and issues coping with life as a health professional, turned out to be convicted paedophiles. They made a great cup of tea with biscuits. My first thought was how amazing this woman, who was a mess, had found such a
