Are there any organisations/websites who could provide some guidance on how to respond to this?

It's utter madness but I want my response to be properly articulated and referenced rather than "you're bonkers"....

There will be, apples . I would imagine FWS and others will develop suggested responses or make their own response public before the deadline. I’d suggest holding off until the final Cass report is published anyway.

Wings have a large post on this . Suggest you read it to get up to speed . There is also a link direct to Scotgov to make your objections clear .
Spread the word by mouth e mail whatever but make people aware .
I have already asked that as this is a psychological intervention will the teachers be given psychological training? We also have to question the health issues that are going to be faced in 20 years time .

We seriously need to get rid of the totalitarian lunatics we have running our country.

Look at the last two points here?!?!?!

This is really dangerous legislation.

Do we really have to go through another "named person" court case to get Scotgov to see sense?! 🙈🙈

so does that last point mean that you can’t stop your child from meeting up with someone you suspect are grooming them, if they are the same sex?

It is so broad it could mean anything. Absolutely nuts.

Fucking hell. Apologies for the wings link but look at the bunch of utter nutters they have on the consultation panel. We're doomed.

I'm so fed up with the SNP not even pretending to take into account any views other than what they want to happen.

No.

Expert advisory group indeed . You wouldn’t want these people anywhere near your children.

I was trying pick out the worst one but they are all equally unsuited to the task .

Dr Mhairi Crawford who represents LGBT youth Scotland and who have been at the heart of 2 child sexual abuse scandals and are supported and promoted by the Scottish government. Then there’s the one with a memory issue and a queer bi sexual Sikh . It’s an SNP black comedy show but the laughs are all on us .
