Ffs. In Scotland there's a man running a government funded rape crisis centre and now this.
Nobody in power really gives a shit, do they?

It’s just a few bad apple farms.

Did they identify as a non-threat? That's all the safeguarding that seems to be required these days. Sad

The Welsh Government has a "Grants Centre of Excellence" and "Grant Assurance Panel". Must be a busy role applying those standards. The 'due diligence checks' obviously don't include 'Is this person remotely qualified to do this work?' or 'Are they a convicted sex offender?' 🙄grant-scheme-standards.pdf (gov.wales)

Eluned Morgan thinks transwomen are women. The Welsh government has introduced unisex toilets in schools. They also don’t believe that children with autism is linked to wanting to be transgender. There is little opposition in Wales and the opposition there is does not challenge this.

I wonder what weasel words they'll use to excuse this. 'Lessons learned' starter for ten

No way. The Welsh government seems so competent and hot on safeguarding!
