Sonia Appleby raising questions about the Tavi's child safeguarding

[MaudTheInvincible]

Not sure if we're allowed to discuss matters pertaining to child safeguarding on here anymore, after MNHQ deleted my other thread about it. I've asked for clarification.

Sonia Appleby is one of the whistleblowers who has raised very serious concerns around the processes at this NHS clinic which provides services to children. One of her allegations is that her colleagues were instructed not to bring safeguarding concerns to her, although she was in the post of safeguarding children lead for the trust.

Does anyone have any idea of when this case might be heard? Or any thoughts about it?

I daren't even put the link to the BBC News article in my OP for fear of it being misconstrued as a 'fundraising thread', but I know you can find more information about the case if you search 'Sonia Appleby Tavistock', should you want to.

Her hearing is tomorrow? Fuck, these are all coming around quickly.

Good luck, Sonia.

It’s today! A little more digging to do a just a smidge if anyone is in the garden.

This case is scheduled for 9 days, so I wonder if we'll get an end of the day update?

I wish I could dig more for Sonia Appleby! Any helpers.

This is such a big case. If it’s true that staff were concerned about children being abused, and those concerns were not followed up because they were told not to talk to Sonia, that takes this scandal to a whole new level.

If you look at Stonewall Law and its implementation, then you can understand how this could have happened. Good luck Sonia

Good luck to her. Hopefully there will be some updates over the course of the hearing. I had no idea it was scheduled for 9 days!

I too shall be waiting with baited breath for an end of day update.

I wish I had the money to donate.

Will be interesting to see how this one pans out.

"Unlikely evidence will start today because members of tribunal need time to read through bundle"

Surprise surprise, accusations of transphobia...

AP quotes from another transcript of interview with Tavi manager which says that there were “concerns” about claimant’s “approach” to GIDS cases. Transcript says “some may have felt it was a bit transphobic.” AP makes argument that SA’s team needs to know identity of manager.

Do we know if there will be a decision at the end of the 9 days of the hearing? Or will the judgement be 'reserved'?

Keeping everything crossed for SA - this is such an important case

Donated and wishing good luck to Sonia.

I think often the judges don't know until the end as it depends on what comes out during the hearing and how much time it will take the judge to consider.

Just chipped a bit more in. Good luck Sonia

Just dug again. Not far off the target now.
