Good morning,
I started this thread before Christmas
www.mumsnet.com/talk/womens_rights/4684558-today-i-found-my-bravery?page=1
The overview is that my DD's primary school is displaying posters by No Outsiders, which are supposed to show the 9 protected characteristics, but shows gender, not sex.
The (male) deputy head I mentioned it to, before Christmas, has not got back to me. The posters are still there.
I summoned up my courage this morning, and spoke to the Headteacher. She seemed surprised, as I said I'd already mentioned it to one deputy head, and that I'd picked up on it due to my school expecting Ofsted, and reissuing our equality training.
The Head said that it was surprising, as No Outsiders were an organisation whose specialism was equalities.
I replied that the EA2010 says sex, not gender. I also mentioned that there were some concerning resources produced by them, including an assembly where a dad wants to offer violence to children who do not accept his trans child. (I know no more than this)
The Head is going to talk to her other deputy head, whose responsibility this is, and to try to put us in contact.
Where do I do from here?
Can any one help me with evidence? What particularly is dodgy about No Outsiders?
Is there anything that states that schools mustn't misrepresent the EA?
Is there any DofE (or whatever it's called now) guidance for schools on the resources they used or how they represent the EA?
And, how should I go about finding out if the school uses other No Outsiders resources?
Please help, I want as much evidence as I can.
Still shaking with adrenaline from speaking to the Head!
