File on 4 covering this area tonight.

There was a survey out a week or so ago. I'm hoping safe schools alliance may be featured 🤞

Some themes so far:

They present best practice to show there's nothing to worry about.

Parents' concerns have come from right wing hysteria.

The new curriculums are more modern and so are better.

The schools are doing their best in very difficult (resource constrained) circumstances.

Children can find much worse online so the fuss over safeguarding is overdone.

What a surprise from those who enabled Savile.

This bit "Children can find much worse online so the fuss over safeguarding is overdone" is such bollocks most parents I know have strict controls on their children's Internet usage. We have it set up so we have constraints but also can see everything DC see online and no, dh is a computer expert and there is no way they could get around this.

It's such utter crap that parents make no effort so it's fine if they're exposed to material in school. It's defined as child abuse in KCSIE to expose children to sexual content.

The bbc is condoning child abuse if they don't get a safeguarding expert on to counter this grooming narrative.

Now they're looking into the Miriam Cates speech in the House in support of her report.

As soon as I post that they make clear they were setting the scene, mentioned the Wild West and providers, and now we have the(?) founder of the Safe Schools Alliance talking.

Interesting. I filled out the survey so will be intrigued to see what they gleaned from it.
