David Bell, Tavi whistleblower

Dr David Bell, who compiled the original whistleblowing report at GIDS, is now subject to legal proceedings by the Tavistock, his employers.

I know it’s been a fantastic day but if anyone has yet another spare shovel, I’m sure Dr Bell would appreciate it.

I attended a seminar at the Scottish Parliament last Feb re gender dysphoria in children and adolescents where he was a speaker. He was marvellous.

What kind of case is it? What are they saying he did, breach of contract or something? Sounds very odd. They've surely got bigger things to worry about now.

PearPickingPorky · 01/12/2020 21:45

Surely any legal action they were pursuing against him will be stopped after today Shock

Surely they can't say "we would have been able to continue experimenting on children without consent for much longer ifit wasn't for you".

Thank you Betty.

That's good news then! Happy to get in the garden.

(I have been banging on a bit today 😄. Just really chuffing relieved that sanity prevailed. So proud of Keira.)

@yourhairiswinterfire

Are they still being sued by their safeguarding lead, or is that the one that was dropped because Keira's covered it?
Sonia Appleby’s case has been listed for summer 2021.

I’m sure she’d appreciate some digging.

(Your posts have had me air punching and cackling today, sometimes simultaneously 😆)

Donated.

It's a new budget month and so a nice sum for gardening is available! Thanks for the heads up.

Could someone PM me too please ? Ta.

xxyzz · 01/12/2020 19:48

Done.

Thanks for pointing this one out.

OhHolyJesus · 01/12/2020 16:26

Done. I'm broke but I'd rather be broker than let this one pass me by.

SophocIestheFox · 01/12/2020 16:22

I can’t figure it out from the text on the funding site Impatiens. I’m not sure what he’s alleged to have done and why the Tavi are going after him. If someone could fill me in...?

endofthelinefinally · 01/12/2020 16:21

Always change the tip to 0.

Impatiens · 01/12/2020 16:18

@SophocIestheFox

How can they do that? Whistleblowers have legal protection, surely?
Are the legal proceedings to do with the whistleblowing? I would have thought this judgement would definitely give them pause for thought.
highame · 01/12/2020 16:16

Have pledged and hope it doesn't take too long to reach his target. Hasn't he done some very good interviews.

Donated. Thank you for letting us know about it.

I went into the website of the Allison Bailey cause then searched for David's name. And changed the tip to zero!

Lordamighty · 01/12/2020 15:39

Could someone dm me a link too. Ta.

Thank you. I've only got a trowel but I can dig a little.

Apollo440 · 01/12/2020 15:25

I'm sorry, are you serious? The Tavistock has started legal proceedings against Dr Bell? On what grounds? Showing them up as criminally negligent?
