Let’s talk about how safeguarding is being disregarded

It seems like safeguarding is being thrown out the window in favour of gender ideology.
Many of us on this site work in social care, teaching, health care and similar professions where we are well versed in safeguarding principles. Many of us struggle to see such a core framework thrown out in favour of protecting feelings.

Perhaps we should go through point by point and provide evidence of how and why safeguarding principles, procedures and practices are being thwarted and broken down?

It really worries me the regulations and policies that are being thrown out of the window in order to keep a small number of very demanding, domineering people happy.
It's not enough that they are being offered a separate private space to change, they want to be in with the girls.
Makes me very, very cross.

From what I hear from those in SS the training rarely touches on safeguarding ...neally all is aimed at not being mean to the poor creatures.

My best friend is a teacher who until very recently had no idea of the scope of the threat to safeguarding that this kind of thing represents. I'm very interested in reading along for her sake as much as mine as a parent - she is passionate about protecting kids and has said she would be prepared to kick up the biggest fuss ever over this, to the point of career ending, if she is shown how deep the rabbit hole goes.

You are correct. I find myself open-mouthed about it on a regular basis.

Sending people with penises into girls' and women's changing rooms and we're supposed to be fine with that...
