Has it finally happened

Isn’t this an informal group, a campaigning group in effect, rather than one set up by Government?

This sounds positive. Its great to see those politicians from different parties working together on this.
It's from policy exchange. Good article by maureen ohara on their web site.

Hope the link works. It's on Policy Exchange web site if not.
But it does illustrate that this has been adopted as a concern of the political right (they are a right of centre influential think tank) when we have 2 years to get labour to change their tune.

Sorry Red but I don't think he did testify. I think he asked about the DBS in Parliament:

www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11349751/Child-abusers-using-loophole-change-names-avoid-detection-Sajid-Javid-reveals.html
"It comes after Mr Javid told the Commons: 'Can I just ask him particularly about the disclosure and barring service which I think is referenced some 84 times in the report.
'When I led a commission in 2020 into child sexual abuse and exploitation, there were a number of issues we discovered around the DBS service, but in particular the ability for some people to simply change their name and avoid detection despite being convicted child sexual abusers.
'This loophole has still not been closed by the Government, so can I urge him to work with his colleagues in the Ministry of Justice and close this as quickly as possible?'
Mr Shapps replied: 'It is very concerning about the DBS service and actually I have asked my ministerial colleague to look into this urgently and that work is already under way. So I will report back to the House.'"

And I think when he says his commission, he means this:

www.centreforsocialjustice.org.uk/newsroom/new-report-unsafe-children-child-sexual-abuse-and-exploitation
www.centreforsocialjustice.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/CSJJ8804-Unsafe-Children-210325-WEB.pdf eg p115

Good for all those women, and thanks for posting this, OP.

I note that ex-Home Sec Javid has testified at the independent inquiry into child abuse that child abusers are using a 'loophole' to change names and avoid detection by authorities. So there is evidence for a problem with name changes which is quietly being ignored by gender campaigners.

Thats a significant development, because you can't give special treatment if you have evidence that this method is being abused because it puts vulnerable groups even more at risk.

Female politicians are launching a biology policy unit to stop gender identity ideology “compromising” women’s and children’s rights.
Labour MP Rosie Duffield, SNP MP Joanna Cherry, and Conservative peer Baroness Jenkin of Kennington have joined forces to help ensure policies across the public sector that are based on gender identity theory are documented and scrutinised.

Seems a good step forward. I assume they will continue to be threatened with violence from fascists because of this.

Good news. And I think it's a smart move to call it the Biology Policy Unit, that will force the TRAs to campaign against biology.

As a canadian woman and a mother of a daughter this gives me hope. I hope it gets passed and it inspires americans and canadians alike in the future when they finally wake up to the non sense that is happening in north america.

It is launching a public call for evidence of the development and impact of policies based on gender identity theory.

Plenty of that available and documented I hope they are ready for the deluge of it they will receive.

Excellent news. In the light of all the devastating safeguarding exposures about women and children's safety, this can't come soon enough.

Great news
Another article about it

SNP MP Joanna Cherry KC has teamed up with other politicians to launch a biology policy unit to stop gender identity ideology "compromising" women's and children's rights as she goes against Sturgeon and SNP party policy.

Cherry will work alongside Labour MP Rosie Duffield and Conservative peer Baroness Jenkins to help ensure policies across the public sector that are based on gender identity theory are documented and scrutinised.

The former SNP justice spokeswoman at Westminster has criticised planned legislation in Scotland that will make it easier to obtain a gender recognition certificate by allowing a process of self-declaration and scrapping the need for a medical diagnosis of gender dysphoria.

Thank you for this links, this looks great. I agree that cross-party work is bound to be more successful and long lasting in most areas. What were the comments like?

Thanks for the links. This looks really promising - I don't trust any single party with this issue any more so working together feels like the only way forward.

That would be wonderful if it does happen.

Though I am more hopeful now after the recent events that have shone day light on the reality of the transright movement and if true I will certainly be as delighted as everyone else here. I also know the trans movement is embedded in many very powerful wealthy decision making institutions both here in the UK and in the rest of the world.

I can't help, but have a fastback to the enquiry scene outcome in the movie Suffragette. Though I would be more than happy to be proved wrong in this case.

Probably been archived and tweeted somewhere!

This is brilliant. Women from different political parties working together how inspiring.

Fantastic. Article is in Telegraph. Couldn't find any more on it.

I also think CPPGs are on the whole a great idea - make politicians work together and come to constructive ideas from.a diversity of backgrounds.

Dissent and having to rub up against people with different views is very healthy.

Where is it reported please? I can’t find it using Google

Opps missed your link and the bottom of post!!!

Is there a link to the news?? I can’t find information anywhere....

Wow. Promising!

Excellent
