If you haven't seen this, I think you should.

In brief, the CPS have published guidance about hate crimes in school - but won't let parents see the guidance. Its for teachers only. I've emailed for a copy and so have others. I have a child in the school system. I want to know how serious the risk is that she will be arrested and charged for discussing biology.

I think anyone else who is also worried should email the CPS and ask to see the guidance.

Teachers and schools can download the pack from this website. This is a resource for schools, so a password is required to download the pack. This can be requested by emailing [email protected].

ThinEnd - am glad I escaped the classroom when I did for many reasons but never thought I'd have to worry about being prosecuted for hate speech when teaching GCSE biology.

As a parent of teenagers at secondary school it is concerning that this pack is kept secret from parents. Why are we not allowed to see it?

Where does that leave the biology teacher when a pupil asks - if I am male - can I become pregnant?

Do they teach biology and answer no so the boy can pass his exam, or do they teach trans orthodoxy and answer yes so they don’t get sacked/prosecuted for hate speech?

Some people here will remember the previous CPS schools pack on hate crime, the main difference is that they made that one available for public download. Interesting change of policy.

I suspect the lure of low hanging fruit.
Want to improve your force's stats on hate crime? Get a 14 year old to accept a caution for saying that sex is observed at birth.

Is it 1.4% of rape complaints result in conviction? Interesting to see the CPS' and police chief's priorities.

The Fair Cop JR should be very interesting, if it does go against the College of Policing. This guidance is very similar - and not surprising as Stonewall and Gendered intelligence have 'advised' on it.

It's creating an environment where teachers and pupils are encouraged to 'inform' on each other.

Yet another example of how this ideology is promoted "behind closed doors" and is dependent on a lack of open public scrutiny and debate. The use of the police to enforce this is so sinister.

Its going to be impossible to keep this secret - 2 people have already sent me a copy. So why even try? Its utterly bizarre and worrying.

CPS appear not to realise that many teachers are parents... you can't separate the two things out. Not to mention the whole working in partnership working thing written into policy across the board.
