You know what? I am still passed off with the NSPCC over their MN webchat!

All this talk of Comic Relief and CiN is reminding me of the appalling show put on by the NSPCC a few months ago! I am referring to the web chat in which they refused to participate in after concerned parents didn't ask the right questions.

I mean, how dare they? They invited Mumsnetters to ask questions, didn't like the questions asked, so ran off! As far as I can see, they've yet to make a comment on this either!

So yeah, just wanted to remind everyone that the NSPCC are woke as fuck, in the wrong direction.

I nominate Lang to be CEO of the new child protection charity that clearly needs setting up and that will receive the donations I might otherwise have made to the nspcc

Not me! I just run this stuff past people I know who work in child protection and plagiarise what they tell me!

It was definitely Sarah Ditum, not sure who else.

JoggerBottom · 18/11/2018 07:46

Hipsterfun, was that the debate with Kelly Malone?

I have no faith in the NSPCC any more. They do seem to have forgotten that their purpose is to protect children.

hipsterfun · 17/11/2018 20:57

Trashy, the post before mine says they took their video to Netmums. That’ll learn us, eh?

TallulahWaitingInTheRain · 17/11/2018 20:40

I missed the whole webchat thing. I'm still furious because if the NSPCC aren't the people picking up potential safeguarding issues that may pose a threat to vulnerable children and raising hell about it then what the fuck are they for?

Did the content ever go live? I don't remember it.

This is what was posted by MN on the original thread.

Thanks for waiting; we've been thinking about what to do.

The focus of this Facebook Live was intended to be the NSPCC's Speak out. Stay safe and PANTS campaign and how to speak to children about keeping safe. Because the questions here are so focused on gender identity, the feeling is that the NSPCC campaign itself and the NSPCC's specific safety messages are unlikely to get much of an airing. As a result we came to the decision not to run the stream live on Facebook, although we will be recording some content with the NSPCC on the original topic which should go live either later today or tomorrow.

Hmm

Weren’t they going to do MN some video content? What happened to that?

They went to Nethuns with their video.

@hipsterfun

Great. I look forward to their videos. I might send them an email asking when they will be released...

Trashy, iirc after they bailed on the webchat, they were going to provide some video content covering what they’d wanted to talk about, i.e. on their terms, neatly sidestepping any difficult discussion.

Back in 2016, they cancelled an event in their Dare to Debate series (on trans issues) after heavy external pressure. Not so daring after all.

#nodebate, indeed.

Does anyone know if they’ve had advice from Stonewall, Mermaids or GIRES?

It was shocking. They gave no apology, no statement, nothing. This will bite them on the arse in a few years.

Yes. I feel very strange seeing their wild west Web stuff.

FlosCampi · 17/11/2018 12:02

That seems both cowardly and irresponsible of them.

LangCleg · 17/11/2018 11:48

MNers asked about the implications of self-ID, NSPCC then withdrew.

More even than that: some of us asked questions about the massive safeguarding failures regarding gender-questioning children and NSPCC withdrew.

concretesieve · 17/11/2018 11:36

Flos look in 'Mumsnet Facebook Live.

MNHQ organised a session on safeguarding with NSPCC, MNers asked about the implications of self-ID, NSPCC then withdrew.

LikeDust · 17/11/2018 11:26

YouTube were of course equally dismissive. They wouldn't even make him set his channels for over 18s.

Gileswithachainsaw · 17/11/2018 11:24

I actually raised something with NSPCC where a dodgy youtuber was grooming kids and I was appalled at how shit their response was. They said it was youtube's responsibility.Total waste of time

Taht a nonsense surely? Isn't there a clause that things like Amazon and you tube aren't responsible for third party sellers/posters ?
That's how that American one "back page" wriggle out of the children being sold online?

Is there am English equivilabt?

I have no confidence in them whatsoever.

LangCleg · 17/11/2018 10:53

This is like a poisoned wound in my side. I will never forget it.

And let's all remember that the NSPCC is the only child protection charity with statutory powers in the UK.

And it ran away from a webchat with mothers rather than respond to questions about massive safeguarding failures in guidance it endorses.

FlosCampi · 17/11/2018 10:52

What happened? What questions were asked?

concretesieve · 17/11/2018 10:49

Beyond pissed off Angry WHY is this not hitting the headlines? WHY?
