Andrew Gilligan Times: 'Green high-flyer Aimee Challenor hid father’s rape charges' David Challenor 'A paedophile rapist posed a “major safeguarding risk” for almost two years'

Is there any explanation of how autism in itself makes you unable to understand safeguarding, and what support in this regard A.C. is now expecting from the organisations they are now involved with?

Agreed I would usually have expected a political candidate with autism to be much more stringent than most about applying safeguarding rules. But I guess that's a stereotype.

The attic stairs picture I thought smacked much more of the Opositional Defiance Disorder that the candidate mentioned they had at one point been diagnosed with. A kind of 'eff you all' move. Not unfortunately a good reaction to such s serious matter.

The lack of mention of Stonewall is telling.

It is. Stonewall have links to all political parties and so many organisations, including children's organisations.

There's a danger that this is just seen as a green party problem when it's much, much wider than that.

Thanks for the share token.
It was a lot shorter than I’d expected and I thought it ended quite abruptly.
Agree with previous poster - I smell lawyers.

Does anyone know when Aimee was appointed to the Stonewall Trans Advisory Group? Surely safeguarding must have arisen there??? Or not.

Just trying to establish if the ignorance about safeguarding “defence” causes Stonewall issues if it overlaps with when appointed by them.

Ah, a bit of snooping reveals Claire is sometimes classed as a "feminist". I'm presumably "gender activists " is a way of saying this without risking sounding like one of those nasty types that don't centre men in their feminism.

Claire also wrote about not forgetting the lessons learned by Rolf Harris. Hang your head in shame woman.

Has the leaked report been leaked to the public or just the press?

It should be. Its in the national interest. Its not just about the Green Party.

Would have good to mention that the report raised concerns that AC still has no understanding of safeguarding and is currently working (not sure if paid work) for Stonewall and is part of Lib Dems in some way.

What's a "gender activist"? They say Phipps is a "fellow gender activist ".

Sexual stereotype activists?

Transgender activists?

What does it mean ?

From what I've seen so far, Stonewall has been completely silent on the issue.

I want to see them explain their reasoning regarding the make up of their 'expert' panels. And then I'd like to see every bit of guidance they've produced in recent years reviewed by people who actually fucking understand safeguarding/give a shit about it.

This is giving me the absolute rage and I can't understand how stonewall is still the gold standard for diversity and inclusion.

First comment mentions that Aimee has been advising GG and other groups about transgender issues and obviously doesn’t know about safeguarding, great first comment please recommend if you can as it keeps it at the top of the comments section.

I hope this gives the Lib Dems a fright, and that they start putting their own house in order.

The lack of mention of Stonewall is telling. Lawyers?

Unfit not unfair

Aimee is unfair to hold any kind of position of responsibility

The claim by Aimee that autism has caused lack of safeguarding awareness. I find that staggering. Autistic kids - Aspie or High Functioning like Aimee usually have a better grasp of the rules. They like to stick to them.

I agree that Andrews article could have been much more scathing - I wonder if he's been told to reign it in.

The girl guides photograph on the attic steps but speaks a thousand words about the drivers and motivations of AC.
A badge collected by young girls taken on the entrance to a site where a young girl was horrifically tortured by a person involved in dismantling the safeguarding of young girls. Every organisation this person was/is involved with,needs to take action to justify not reviewing any decision making where AC has been involved. This should include a review of minutes of all meetings to understand the scope of influence exerted by this deeply troubled person. Their silence on this national scandal means they are complicit in any resultant abuse and should be held to account by victims.

Here's a sharetoken. www.thetimes.co.uk/article/green-high-flyer-hid-father-s-rape-charges-kdhrfhll3?shareToken=5a8d1583b86b77d297e5730abb710424

..and Aimee is a Stonewall adviser? An organisation that is intent on removing women and girls sex based rights and protections.

Stonewall are going to find that being cozy with people who are relaxed about paedophile rape has resonances. The “gay men are inherently a risk to children” trope is long standing and dsngerous, and one gay rights organisations have worked hard to counter. Look at how tatchell now squirms about his past.

The German greens are in crisis as their penetration by paedophiles like Cohn Bendit emerges. Now it’s the uk greens, but also stonewall. A bad look.

Has anyone got a share token for that please?

The omission allowed David Challenor to run his daughter’s office and mix with young activists and members’ children at events that included a picnic only weeks before his trial.

Sometimes they're stunningly brilliant and sometimes they lack the capability to understand just about anything. It depends on what best suits their argument advanced at any particular time.
