Government funds free Stonewall training for primary schools

They are offering this to 100 schools in selected areas (their knowledge of geography is a wee bit shaky but they are across the UK).

They say "As part of this Government Equalities Office funded project, we can offer you:

A two-hour twilight INSET on preventing and tackling homophobic, biphobic and transphobic bullying for all staff
A two-hour working group meeting on celebrating difference and creating an inclusive curriculum, to be attended by a range of staff including a member of SLT and staff responsible for pastoral care
A one-hour consultation on ensuring school policies are inclusive
A one-hour session on either of the following topics: training for support staff on tackling HBT bullying and language; or support for SLT on working with parents"

Remember, the gender questioning child should get whatever they want and that Stonewall will misinterpret the Equality Act (which they want overturned) however they want. This is from their Guide for Schools to Supporti LGBT YP : "Toilets and changing rooms A trans young person may wish to use the toilets and changing rooms of their self-identified gender rather than of their assigned sex. Schools should make sure that a trans student is supported to do so and be aware that this is a legal requirement under the Equality Act."

They've also quoted the 45% dodgy suicide stat on their website. So glad this is where government funding is going

Keeping secrets. Ah that Number 1 red flag that anyone working with children is taught with regards to grooming and inappropriate behaviour.

That allsorts toolkit advised that parents may not be supportive so 'professionals' could bypass them

This is something I’m going to point out at the meeting. Most of us attending are fully trained safeguarding leads. We recognise what’s going on here.

You'd think after the Scottish government's endorsement of the human rights breaching LGBT youth guidance which has, this week, been taken apart by Women and Girls in Scotland, they'd think more carefully about allowing lobby groups write policy...

Someone say Scotland? where this week a convicted paedophile was let off Scott free and then this:

My son's primary school has a 'trans child' in year 4. Ftm. That's all I know. They've been doing Moffat's stuff as a city wide thing - the programme is v good for general diversity and EA stuff, but I'm not sure it has enough about gender stereotypes. I've linked the two bits I'm not sure on / keen on up thread. The lesson plans I feel follow a particular line that could actually be confusing to any gender non conforming child and might lead them to feel they are in the wrong body when actually they're gender non conforming.

In all this I feel teachers need to know those words as distinct separate words to trans, to be able to be in a better position to support all children understand this.

I feel lucky to have grown up when actually, we did understand it without knowing that's what it was. I do fear the media and overly pinkness of the last 15-20 years has overruled this.

Very good points Lisa. Horribly good points.

It is strongly networked. And I’d agree completely that it’s grooming. Of institutions, of individuals and of an entire generation. To have no boundaries, no ability to say no, and no power to stop it.

Yes

I find this weakening of normal safeguarding on a completely politically-motivated basis very disturbing.

What will make the so-called "Women and Equalities" Ministry stop funding Stonewall?

Are they really unaware of (and just don't care about) the petition signed by LGBT people and those who are concerned about Stonewall's agenda?

Haven't they noticed how Stonewall refuses to engage in a debate about its aims, methods and materials? Any other publicly funded body that failed to account for its record would be given short shrift.

You would have thought that a when a Minister announces an urgent enquiry into the Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria in school girls, that the other parts of the ministry might be more circumspect about letting a pro-trans lobby group anywhere near a school.

How does Penny Mordaunt and her civil servants justify the use of of public funds when it hasn't even published the findings on the GRA?

They couldn't give a toss, it seems to me. Stonewall is a favoured partner and women's organisations - particularly ones supporting lesbian girls - will never get a look in. All those meetings with MPs and the correspondence between Mordaunt and MPs have had no effect whatsoever. It's business as usual.

The Conservatives are toast, and can feck off, as far as I'm concerned

Be worth emailing her, Pam....

An organised network(stonewall, with key advisor names, do I have to include), with institutional backup, offering trans ideology in a way that undermines safeguarding and is consistent with patterns of grooming, with children clearly placed as objects in adult identities, in a manner likely to lead to harm to them, this, exactly this, is what is my number one issue with the TRA agenda.

Whether wilful or not, the result is the same: normal (primary school aged) children’s behaviour is being sexualised, problematised, and then acted on behind the backs of parents who refute the problematisation of their children.

The children are singled out for special attention and effectively groomed into transhood.

I was a tom boy, I sought refuge in short hair and hanging with the boys from the misery of girlhood.

I am certain that if the GEOs support for stonewalls training existed then, I’d have jumped at the chance to cut my breasts off and take ‘t’, cause I could see then what I can see now: girls are second class citizens.

Have these training sessions been assessed for Working Together compliance? If not, why not?

Also Noting 2018 updates to that interagency working guidance- I have not looked into it but it is clearly a living document that changes and so compliance will need to be checked regularly.
