The trust is concerned by the tone and manner in which these allegations have been made.

Tenner bet it’s an woman who has blown the whistle and she’s not been sufficiently ‘nice’ 🙄

Delay in treatment is causing them to loose concentration at school - quick, put them on puberty blockers that knock their IQ back 8 points as soon as possible!
