Gay Men's Network Cass Response: Public Inquiry now.

Thank you so much for this @DennisNoelKavanaghOffTwitter.

I do have to reiterate what @ResisterRex says above.

As Cass says there is a schools to clinic pipeline.

But that's not just from the individual schools. That's from all the organisations feeding into schools. NSPCC included, which is a statutory safeguarding organisation. Some are other organisations who deliver safeguarding training and governed training. Others are charities. Some are universities who have close ties with schools as their teacher training students have placements in schools.

Please do also download the template letter that SSSAUK have provided and send it off to your MP. It's very quick to do, though I am going off on a tangent with some other links and evidence I want to include and have but yet pressed send!

Thank you Dennis

Thank you Dennis, you were excellent on Free Speech Nation.

You're not an interloper, Dennis! Yours is a very welcome voice here.

There are a few threads now.

IMO very important to maintain focus on what has failed which is child safeguarding. The NSPCC have statutory safeguarding powers and we know the issues there go back years. We know from Cass that children were being referred directly to specialists and bypassing the safeguarding screening, with their other issues being set aside. We know that people have been raising concerns about the NSPCC to no avail. The Charity Commission is also an important part of the jigsaw as is the Children's Commissioner.

Quote from the article

“This month, Sir Peter Wanless, chief executive of the NSPCC, announced he was stepping down.

An NSPCC spokesman said the organisation had no formal partnership with Stonewall, but did engage with the campaign group, “to hear from communities that are often under-represented”.

“At the NSPCC, we pride ourselves on being a safe space for children and young people – whether that’s supporting them when disclosing abuse or providing a listening ear for any concerns,” he said.

“In order to fully support children, we must create a non-judgemental space that allows them to feel comfortable and protected – something which is covered within our training. Something simple, like using a child’s preferred pronouns, is one way in which a young person can feel listened to and respected.

“We would like to thank Julia for the years she spent volunteering with the charity, inevitably changing the lives of the young people she supported.”

A Charity Commission spokesman said: “In May 2023 we opened a compliance case into the NSPCC to explore its management of the Childline message boards.

“After engaging with the charity, which commissioned an independent safeguarding team to review the message boards, we were satisfied the NSPCC had implemented the recommendations from this report.

“The case was closed in September 2023.””

Hi Dennis, I hadn't heard of your organisation before and I'm pleased to know there are men active on this issue, thank you.

Watched Free Speech Nation last night and your passion for this issue is outstanding. An excellent watch

The link isn’t opening for me, I’m getting one of those “could not establish safe connection” messages.

Thank you Dennis. It's been such a relief to know that the Gay Men's Network are on the case.
Off to listen to you on Free Speech Nation - I hear you were excellent.

Thank you - will read and share

Thanks Dennis. I don't do X/Twitter but will share the report IRL.
