Delurking

I remember reading a post on here which was particularly detailed with regards to the safeguarding guidelines that were breached when following guidelines from mermaids/allsorts etc in keeping a child's 'trans' status secret. It gave very good details about what questions to ask a school. I have searched all day but cannot locate it. Can anyone remember it and point me in the right direction?

Many thanks

SC

Yes I remember the thread, it was started in AIBU and then I think it moved here. It was started by a poster who was given guidance re trans children and she? Was not sure what questions to ask. I’ll have a look for it too. There was a lot of excellent information from R0wantrees

Not sure of the thread (can you think of any other clues?) but Claire Graham's speech at last year's 'Correcting The Bindspot' meeting is very good on SAfeguarding, policies & legislation.

She analyses the school toolkits:

R0wantrees yet again you're a star. I'm glad you've linked it because there is so much useful information there.
