When Sandy Brindley ‘paused’ referrals to ERCC last October, did she refer anyone to Beira’s Place instead, or did she just leave them to face their trauma alone? Where is the evidence that the ERCC Board acted on the concerns raised between last October and now?

If you're at conference, please do come along, listen, and discuss. labourwomensdeclaration.org.uk/lwd-fringe-eve…

FeministRoar I would encourage both Georgia Georgia Meadows and Kaz Cllr Kaz Self to come and chat with LabourWomen’sDeclaration 🦖 I’d be happy to talk with both.

Impeccable research as ever from Trina
