You know what? I am still passed off with the NSPCC over their MN webchat!

All this talk of Comic Relief and CiN is reminding me of the appalling show put on by the NSPCC a few months ago! I am referring to the web chat in which they refused to participate in after concerned parents didn't ask the right questions.

I mean, how dare they? They invited Mumsnetters to ask questions, didn't like the questions asked, so ran off! As far as I can see, they've yet to make a comment on this either!

So yeah, just wanted to remind everyone that the NSPCC are woke as fuck, in the wrong direction.

NSPCC: "Ask us anything".

FWR posters ask a lot of questions.

"Ooh, not those questions!" NSPCC run off like the cowards they are.

Yes it reminded me as well, although I'm reminded everytime I see their name anywhere. Maybe not the brand awareness they were looking for!

Gileswithachainsaw · 16/11/2018 16:15

Me too

They have just been into dds school with their workshops months PANTS campaign

The same campaign rendered meaningless by adults prepared to lie to children, tell victims of abuse what happened to them wasn't what really happened to them, and who removed the ability to consent who they get undressed in front of.

Take a the fucking piss

Stupid phone

It still pisses me off too.

The week they scarpered off, I saw the same glossy NSPCC advert on ITV played so many times!

It showed images of kids learning in schools etc.

What pissed me off just as much is that they didn't stick around to answer the non self ID questions either.

sackrifice · 16/11/2018 17:34

Me too.

gendercritter · 16/11/2018 17:46

Even sitting here now I'm looking back thinking it was appalling. A leading children's charity didn't turn up to ask questions put to them by a group of mums. Wtf?!

TrashyTerf · 16/11/2018 19:19

Pissed! Not passed!

seriously - I was so shocked by them behaving like that... they will never get my money again

candidpeel · 16/11/2018 22:31

I'm utterly pissed off with them. All the voluntary sector orgs triangulate off each other, and if the others say everything is OK they can all pretend everything is ok.

No one will call out the Emperor's new clothes. Its so bloody irresponsible Angry

hipsterfun · 16/11/2018 22:35

Weren’t they going to do MN some video content? What happened to that?

Beamur · 16/11/2018 23:00

I cancelled my regular donation to them after that, having sent a message, asking why they were unwilling to engage with interested people on MN. No reply, no response either to my cancellation.
Total indifference.

@hipsterfun

Really? That might be an interesting line to follow up with Mumsnet...

Beyond pissed off Angry WHY is this not hitting the headlines? WHY?

FlosCampi · 17/11/2018 10:52

What happened? What questions were asked?

LangCleg · 17/11/2018 10:53

This is like a poisoned wound in my side. I will never forget it.

And let's all remember that the NSPCC is the only child protection charity with statutory powers in the UK.

And it ran away from a webchat with mothers rather than respond to questions about massive safeguarding failures in guidance it endorses.

LikeDust · 17/11/2018 11:12

I actually raised something with NSPCC where a dodgy youtuber was grooming kids and I was appalled at how shit their response was. They said it was youtube's responsibility.Total waste of time.

I have no confidence in them whatsoever.

Taht a nonsense surely? Isn't there a clause that things like Amazon and you tube aren't responsible for third party sellers/posters ?
That's how that American one "back page" wriggle out of the children being sold online?

Is there am English equivilabt?

LikeDust · 17/11/2018 11:26

YouTube were of course equally dismissive. They wouldn't even make him set his channels for over 18s.

concretesieve · 17/11/2018 11:36

Flos look in 'Mumsnet Facebook Live.

MNHQ organised a session on safeguarding with NSPCC, MNers asked about the implications of self-ID, NSPCC then withdrew.

LangCleg · 17/11/2018 11:48

MNers asked about the implications of self-ID, NSPCC then withdrew.

More even than that: some of us asked questions about the massive safeguarding failures regarding gender-questioning children and NSPCC withdrew.

FlosCampi · 17/11/2018 12:02

That seems both cowardly and irresponsible of them.

LikeDust · 17/11/2018 12:03

Yes. I feel very strange seeing their wild west Web stuff.

TrashyTerf · 17/11/2018 12:03

It was shocking. They gave no apology, no statement, nothing. This will bite them on the arse in a few years.

Trashy, iirc after they bailed on the webchat, they were going to provide some video content covering what they’d wanted to talk about, i.e. on their terms, neatly sidestepping any difficult discussion.

Back in 2016, they cancelled an event in their Dare to Debate series (on trans issues) after heavy external pressure. Not so daring after all.

#nodebate, indeed.

Does anyone know if they’ve had advice from Stonewall, Mermaids or GIRES?
