NSPCC - message by Safe School Alliance

[NeurotrashWarrior]

For anyone not following on fb:

*"We are extremely pleased to hear the news, that thanks to the persistence of Child Protection Barrister, Sarah Phillimore, the NSPCC are finally taking the safeguarding concerns raised seriously and have now referred themselves to the Charities Commission. We are watching with interest to see how this progresses.

It is imperative that as a society we prioritise the safeguarding of children at all times. We all have a shared Duty of Care."*

Big thanks to Sarah for getting it to this point

Yes this is fabulous! Thank you Sarah!

(Posting on the hop as usual!)

Well done Sarah.

Amazing work. But isn't this incredible that we have got to the point where the NSPCC have got their own safeguarding concerns?! Its just madness.

I wonder if Owen Jones and other commentators who were adament that it was all a homophobic fuss will make a mental note. I don't really wonder.

Good

thanks Sarah

Fucking hell! (In a good way)

Sarah

Very glad to hear this while remaining disgusted that there was any need for it in the first place.

Keep on the case, Sarah and SSA.

Well done Sarah

Wow. I'm genuinely shocked. Brilliant work, Sarah. So grateful there are people like you looking out for the most vulnerable in society.

Thanks Sarah. Deeply concerning that it has taken your tenacity, on the back of numerous complaints, to get the NSPCC to acknowledge concerns.

We must continue to hold these organisations to account. Shame that we need to.

Hmmm... Do the charities commission now anything about safeguarding? They might be woked-up to the eyeballs and end up having the reverse effect.

Can I get a bit of an overview? I'm so out of the loop on this one

So was this about....

• changing the definition of child abuse to refer to the kids being scared
• staff member wanking in a gimp suit in the staff loos and posting it in SM (with references to work) and their later attack on anyone who raised this issue as - an issue
• Temporarily having an ambassador who has a SM history of abusive messages and asked kids to SM them

Did I miss anything?

Fantastic news, well done Sarah

The rot is deep in the nspcc in my opinion. Shine the light.

Wow......what a shit-show! Is anywhere safe for kids now?!

Um... can anybody see a post by an MNHQ shopbot?

Deary me.

Well done Sarah, thank you

NSPCC are dead in the water, any credibility for safeguarding is long past.

Lang don't say that out loud, otherwise you'll get an advert for Specsavers

Excellent

...and what with Childline partnering with Fox Fisher, I don't know who kids are meant to go to for gender-free advice if they're feeling under social pressure to transition.

Referring to it as bullying, and IIRC asking that critical posts on twitter be reported, and issuing a statement saying they support their staff.
