Safe Schools Alliance aims statement and printable resource

I've just seen this on the Twatter from Safe Schools Alliance. It's an A4 printable of their aims and objectives. It's intended as a resource for contacting MPs and other representatives. I'm going to send it off to mine tomorrow, I think.

Nothing to disagree with there, is there?

@GColdtimer

This is a link to the statement on their website about the Transgendertrend toolkit for schools. It’s actually worse than I remember - it says the toolkit “actively encourages schools to take steps that risk them falling foul of their legal duties and duty of care to pupils”. It’s 100% bullshit.

I think it sums up the issues well. And, since our entire political class appears to have failed to have done its due diligence on any of it, a good primer for MPs and councillors. Even head teachers and school governors. Great accessible format too.

Thanks lang. SSA ask that this is widely shared; sending a copy off to my local mps too!

GColdtimer · 14/08/2019 08:03

Thank you Lang, I was going to come on and share this today but you beat me to it!

Family do you have a link to where stonewall is advising that please? I some LAs have stated it but I didn’t know stonewall had come out to say it.

FamilyOfAliens · 14/08/2019 07:21

Thanks, lang, this has come just at the right time, when Stonewall is telling us that any school using the Transgendertrend toolkit for schools “risks falling foul of the law” (without naming any law or how this is even the case).

I’ll make sure our local authority people have copies of this.

Raises lots of useful questions. Looks like a great basis for discussion with someone just starting to get to grips with the area (like a lot of MPs need to do).

It’s fab! Thanks, I’ll be writing to my mp later today

Or, perhaps, actual clicky link for the Twatter!
