Hey all, I posted ages ago to share my experience of raising concerns with Girlguiding. I got lots of support then from other leaders and parents of girls - thank you!
I now have a scheduled meeting with the CEO for later this month and I would like to ask if anyone would like to submit any of their own concerns for me to pass on. I intend on handing over a pile of printed letters of concerns, anonymous or not, to highlight that my concerns are not in the minority.
I will be talking about the incorrect language they use throughout their website and policies, along with the safeguarding implications of using unclear language and having unclear policies that revolve around keeping biological boys and men happy, with no regard for the girls and women.
I know many women share the same views but are scared to speak out, or HAVE raised concerns and been shut down. If you'd like to add your voice to mine please feel free to send me a message.
