Press release - age appropriate RSE next steps

*years ago

Also placemarking.

The consultation should have been done she's ago, it's important but it will cause further delay. I hope responses are processed quickly and this government take action in direct response. So much time has passed and parents and teachers have been calling this out for a long time.

Personally I'd like to see an independent investigation to review materials (and individuals) and then update mandatory guidelines. All the shite we know exists continues whilst we wait as the Unions and external providers continue to peddle gender ideology and extreme sexual porn practices to teens in the meantime.

At least there will no longer be a piecemeal approach lead by schools and new advice will come top-down.

Placemarking

That would be my hope as a secondary impact of breast feeding education

Agree that breastfeeding should be discussed, including the many benefits for women's health. Especially given so many young girls seem intent on cutting their breasts off and there is seemingly no prior discussion by medics of the bodily function they'll be giving up by doing so.

Our appeal to government is to ensure this review is now handled with the care, sensitivity and impartiality it requires and to listen carefully to the voices of education professionals and pupils.”

So not interested in parents' views then? Surely safeguarding requires parents also being involved? Somewhat dodgy that such an important group of stakeholders are entirely ignored by this man who should surely know about their importance for safeguarding?

I just found this about James Bowen from an earlier thread in March. All about his poo pooing any concern about PSHE lessons.
Maybe it is the same as what you found.

8 March on another thread,
wrote important additional information in relation to the “Association of Headteachers” mentioned in the news report which people may want to be aware of - after all the A of HT sounds very worthy^.

Quote from the report

"Head teachers said they were unhappy about the review. James Bowen, director of policy the National Association of Head Teachers, said: “It is hard to be anything other than deeply concerned by this announcement.

“The overwhelming majority of schools are doing nothing more than following the government’s own statutory guidance when it comes to relationships and sex education. The current curriculum was subject to extensive consultation before it was introduced.

“We have seen no evidence to suggest there is a widespread problem with pupils being presented with age-inappropriate materials and if this were the situation, we would expect it to have been picked up on a case-by-case basis.

“There is a real concern that this is a politically motivated review, rather than one based on the reality of what is happening in the vast majority of schools up and down the country. Our appeal to government is to ensure this review is now handled with the care, sensitivity and impartiality it requires and to listen carefully to the voices of education professionals and pupils.”

Oh, THAT National Association of Head Teachers. Got it:

James Bowen is mentioned in tbe OP if this thread, not happy with a review of RSE.

Jordan Peterson said in his discussion with Matt Walsh that he wants these type of people imprisoned.

Like the global banking crisis and Savile it's not going to happen, the taxpayer will fund compensation and inquiries and increase the national debt yet again, they will learn a lesson in how to abuse us more slyly next time, they will enjoy a huge pension and retain their reputation.

Personal opinion, and one that I also heard on woman's hour once, is that breastfeeding should be covered more at school under general growing up, life cycles and puberty. Not particularly pushing it as such, nor that it's a choice as it's all very political but making sure that children are aware of the purpose of breasts.

I was also reflecting with a friend that careers education doesn't include conversations about what might happen when you have children and who takes career breaks. How those things can be managed. Encourage more boys to think about how they may handle child care and practicalities. Not to say that mothers should be working but how the family unit works as a team. That the child care is part of that (whether it is them at home or they use child minders or nurseries) but also the importance of the early years.

That is part of relationships.

If be very interested to know if so

Ah - the NAHT who have been pushing trans ideology for years. Apart from hiding (or hopefully getting rid of) their grim guidelines, they'll be much deleting and reverse ferreting to hide their lack of due diligence and levels of culpability for much of this.

I have just read a lie:
“It is worth remembering that the current curriculum was subject to extensive consultation before it was introduced,” James Bowen, director of policy for the National Association of Head Teachers, said in March. “We have seen no evidence to suggest there is a widespread problem with pupils being presented with age-inappropriate materials, and if this were the situation, we would expect it to have been picked up on a case-by-case basis.”

Isn’t he connected to something not quite right? I am sure there were some informative posts about him a few months ago.

Alasdair Henderson acted for Keira Bell! So he definitely has an appreciation of the harm that transitioning can have for young women and girls.

Some background on some of the people here

www.theguardian.com/education/2023/may/31/sex-education-in-schools-in-england-to-be-reviewed-by-expert-panel

Alasdair Henderson led the enquiry into anti-Semitism in the Labour party.

And if you want to apply for any funding for a project, you have to bang on about diversity and inclusion there too. If a school thinks it means rainbows and glitter, well they're fucked.

So yes please, some laying down of the fucking law.

I'm not a massive fan of academies and those who lead them but willing to reserve judgement for now till further notice! too tired to go looking at them.

A human rights lawyer sounds a good shout too. And not surprised as schools are going bonkers over the EA2010. Thanks to a combination of Ofsted reporting specifically on whether children know the PC's and undoubtedly a bit of No Outsiders kicking off a trend. Plus all the quality marks which ALL have a box to fill in saying "tell us how diverse and inclusive your school is," 🤪

Am impressed. Some good news.

Interestingly, those are different people from the ones I saw trailed a while ago. The previous ones contained some people who were very much committed to gender woo. Looks like there's been a re-think. Hope this is good news!

Thank you for highlighting this. Whoa, need to do a deep dive on all of those people asap.
