Hey Mumsnet

I've done a video guide with legal help for responding to the pre legislative scrutiny committee's call for evidence which closes Monday 16th November at 5 PM, it has 16 questions and it's not like a normal consultation, instead of going question by question you upload a word document.

It's absolutely vital the committee hears from parents because the people behind this bill squarely have parental rights in their sights.

This video is just intended to help people who prefer to be talked through things rather than have time to read - Sex Matters on their website have fantastic tools which I summarise here on how to respond.

you can submit documents produced in Word equivalent programs. The instructions list what is acceptable. You can’t use PDF though

Why is this all so difficult? I'm surely not the only one in this position.

I don't have any perspective as a parent, but a little as a physical therapist. However if it's Word only, then I'm out.

Good question @MarcTheGenderSkeptic perhaps @DennisNoelKavanaghOffTwitter can help?

And how do you take part if you can't upload a Word document?

Thanks @DennisNoelKavanaghOffTwitter will add it to some of the other threads discussing this as well.

Copied the link over in this other well supported thread to further bring attention to your video. It is excellent. Thank you. https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/womens_rights/5599102-well-done-fws-and-women-everywhere-there-are-no-men-in-womens-jails-in-scotland?page=16&reply=155924604
