Hanora50 says "Tubu goes on to discuss Susie Green and her daughter in detail and yes I know a lot of the information is public knowledge but is all of it?"
Please tell me where I said anything about Susie and her daughter which isn't freely available on the internet or shown on TV.
Yes there was a confidentiality policy and safeguarding policy when I left. I know because I was involved in updating them. Yes I agreed to abide by both and I have not breached either of them. What I said in my post about how parents were supported did not reference anyone in what they may have been advised.
As it is so clear that I didn't mention anyone by name in my post one could assume that Hanora50 feels what I said was directed at them or someone they know. Maybe they themselves were encouraged by Mermaids to pursue treatment I mentioned in that post.
The reason I did not stay and fight for what was right two and a half years ago was because certain member/s of the committee, (not Trustees as it was not a charity then), had decided I had to go because I had challenged them. They had dismissed my concerns (all of which have since turned out to be valid). The reason I have now started to support those looking closely at Mermaids is almost entirely because I, and those who backed me two and a half years ago have to all intents and purposes been exonerated of making false claims.
Also it is far easier to see what is going on once you are outside, looking from a distance. Piecing together all the recent events in the media has helped me to clarify in my mind exactly what was going on. That is why I have chosen to speak out now. The climate is right for Mermaids to be looked at more closely.
There is a lot more which I could say about what I saw going on in Mermaids but I am gagged by the confidentiality policy I signed.
