Hawkeye I cynically think no that's not what the Government think, otherwise we wouldn't have Mermaids and Stonewall reaching their tentacles into schools, the Police, etc., etc. I can also see that this 'safeguarding' will be twisted to be all about the Trans and they will be focus to the detriment of girls in particular.
If there was true concern about safeguarding we wouldn't have seen the wholesale removal of the rights of girls within such organisations as the Girl Guides.
