Sarah Phillimore has reported the NSPCC to the charities commission, as they refused to confirm that either the allegations made about wanking@work are false or that they are investigating matter.

As she says, this is another Oxfam or Kids Company waiting to happen. Thank you Sarah for devoting your expertise to this.

Good for you Sarah. Thank you. You have significant professional standing, and that helps.

I know who Sarah is/was on here, I remember her well. I won't say it here, but I'm sure lots of us remember her.

Thank you Sarah for being so public spirited and pursuing clarity around this. Flowers

I wonder if Sarah has had any previous dealings with a certsin Mr Hemmings.

She is great. Thanks Sarah.

I know that I read a piece she wrote in the last year or so on the topic of family courts and trans issues, but I cannot for the life of me find it now. Will continue looking.

I admire her making this public.

However, I have absolutely zero faith in the Charity Commission after reporting my own workplace for systemic safeguarding failures of hundreds of vulnerable adults. As of yet (four months and counting) there has been no response that I know of.

Is Sarah a mumsnetter ? I am getting a bit of deja vu here.

howonearthdidwegethere · 14/06/2019 22:24

She's wonderful. I picked up from another tweet that she has personal experience of being failed by adults who should have been there for her and that's what motivates her.

Flowers for you, Sarah, if you're reading.

Thank you, Sarah

AnyFucker · 14/06/2019 22:22

I admire that woman immensely

JackyHolyoake · 14/06/2019 22:22

Yes, thank goodness for women like Sarah Phillimore!

Thank you, Sarah!

MrsJamin · 14/06/2019 22:21

Thank goodness someone is standing up for the priority of the safety of children rather than staff!

HollowTalk · 14/06/2019 22:20

Thank god someone's doing something about this.

GrumpyCatLives · 14/06/2019 22:14

She is very articulate and firm. Hopefully, some good can come of this mess.

Investigating the video, rather than the matter that JM produced in the video, I mean.
