Has anyone come across People Changing Minds in school PSHE?

@CyanExpert The Privacy Notice mentions safeguarding and a Safeguarding Policy, but there doesn't appear to be a safeguarding policy on their website. It may be that he sends it out only to the schools that hire him. I'd want to see it before I let him talk to my child.

Nice detective work! 😀

I haven't had experience of them, but the model seems very similar to old-school Stonewall, albeit on a much smaller scale. The fact that Henry is going into schools, directly influencing governors and SLTs, as well as workshopping for corporates, and the fact that they have very little information on their website, and their main contact is Henry himself, are all red flags to me.

Where are the accounts and where is the oversight and accountability? If they are not listed on either Companies House or the Charities Commission, this indicates that there is an umbrella company, and I would want to know what that is before I let him into schools.

Lack of info also means no way of checking People Change Minds' networks and connections.

"Non judgemental"🙄yeah I assume Henry who appears to be the only person working there is very "non judgemental" of anyone who doesn't agree with him that gender identity is a thing. He seems to have mostly worked with schools in the leafier parts of London - Wimbledon, Kingston, Highgate

People Change Minds is the inclusion project which helps schools and businesses to improve the lives of LGBTQ+ people.

About Us — People Change Minds: the LGBTQ+ inclusion project

We aim to help create a paradigm shift in the way everyone supports LGBTQ+ people, moving from a reactive approach to a proactive one - acknowledging LGBTQ+ people exist from the get-go (even if they haven’t come out) and changing our behaviour (like the language we use) to reflect that.

The project was founded by Henry Hudson in 2021 and has since gone on to work with staff, students and parents in schools and businesses around the UK. At the heart of all its work is the simple belief that human connection drives social change....

All our work uses what we call the TEA model:

• explaining contemporary THEORY around sexuality and gender identity, and enabling everyone to under the key issues, rooted in clinical research
• creating EMPATHY with LGBTQ+ people, showing how issues show up in real life experiences
• sharing ACTIONS which everyone can take to make their environments more welcoming and supportive for LGBTQ+ people

..…………

My first thoughts:

• they don't indicate anywhere that I can find if they are a company or a charity. They are an "inclusion project"
• seems on the face of it to be a one/man band called Henry Hudson
• not listed under Companies House as "People Change Minds" but their website doesn't give any information as to their actual registered company name (so also cannot search on Charities Commission website)
• they do corporate and schools work, just like Stonewall
