Just been reading that court judgement. This is particularly interesting-
Transgender equality has received a great deal of attention in recent times. I believe that in this case the profile and sensitivity of the matters raised by the mother blinded a number of professionals from applying their training, skills and, it has to be said, common sense. They failed properly to investigate M's assertions, in part I suspect, because they did not wish to appear to be challenging an emerging orthodoxy in such a high profile issue.
Something we are seeing happening more and more, resulting in safeguarding going out of the window.
I'm pretty shocked at Harrop sharing that funding link and his comments, though nothing he says should shock me anymore. The idea that he has a professional responsibility for safeguarding makes me shudder. He hears 'trans' and immediately jumps to a position despite the fact that the evidence in this case was complex, involved a great number of various bodies and was carefully and thoroughly examined.
