Diversity Role Models Workshop

[Sunny200]

Hi

The company diversity role models are giving a workshop at my daughter's school next week. They are aged 11 and 12 year olds. Upon looking into what they do, they linking up with Asda in 2020 and sent out packs to kids which linked a video about acceptance containing the phrase "love has no age" and another slogan" "love has no limit" which is often used by paedophiles. It also refers to a book "Beyond Magnenta" and it relateds to kids as young as 6. We have emailed the school and waiting for a reply. Have told them if she has to participate we will take het out of school. Any advice would be appreciated.

No suggestions, but you may like to post in the feminism sex and gender discussions board as there may well be people there who can help.

@Sunny200 my daughters school are having this on Wednesday, I appreciate this is a old thread but can I ask how it was ? Did you feel you could complain ? Did you get any advice from here ?

Hi yes we complained and i think there were a few parents.complained. if you go on to their facebook page and scroll down to 2019, there is someone promoting the organisantion with the name of "Crystal ***" dressed what i would describe as a stripper. Sorry cant type the name, but all that i can say it is not appropriate for school kids. We also mentiined safeguarding and The Safe Schools Alliance. Luckily the school cancelled it in the end, but didn't make any comments. My daughter was in year 7 at the time and we were going to take her out of school on the days it was taking place. What year is your child?

I complained / talked to head of safeguarding who was lovely and made all the right noises but clearly so entrenched in the #bekind that I felt she didn't understand my concerns , they told me too late to do anything like look at the materials . Although thankyou for your response
My daughter is 16 , she watched it , said it was " dead boring, and as she has GCSEs coming up she'd have found it more useful to revise for them '
Had she been any younger I'd have pulled her from the class. However it feels like the daughters response was the best outcome
