I'm so glad this is getting more airtime. It is such a scandal that so much money is going to one lobby group to push a ridiculous agenda.

Hopefully people will wake up to this, there needs to be a public enquiry into how this was allowed to happen.

I'll.never understand how we ended up in a situation where organisations - and government bodies - paid a lobbying group to lobby them.

Very good to see MPs asking questions.

Especially - infuriating as it is - when they're male.

£600K?? Good grief. Just think of putting that money towards school resources.

The amount individual schools and colleges pay from their own budget is presumably on top of this.

Also to bear in mind this is just one department of many that were signed up.

BloodinGutters · 05/11/2021 10:26

Maybe a silly question but have they left so dc scheme? When?

Feel like I should know this, but can’t recall details, I know ofsted left this year along with ehrc & ofcom & d of h. Just memory failing me today.

Purpletomato · 05/11/2021 10:50

Wow, insane amount of money. Could be spent on other resources or on working with disability and SEN advisory groups.

KittenKong · 05/11/2021 17:32

Who signed this off? They should be out of a job...

Yup. Wouldn’t that be nice?
MarshmallowSwede · 05/11/2021 18:13

Well they have run a great scam haven’t they?!

MarshaBradyo · 05/11/2021 18:13

Exactly what I was going to say Stonewall scam

You have to love that poll, though - 97%? Is that all...!

BreadInCaptivity · 05/11/2021 20:26

WTF Angry

Who the hell is signing this off?

It's ridiculous and it's needs to stop.

Stonewall is the original grifter of gender ideology, demonstrating just how far you can push liberal guilt.

This kind of thing always strikes me as a good example of why, when we are told we should be doing this or that training or conference or drill, we should always ask - is there any actual evidence that there is value in this?

My workplace is about to do unconscious bias training - a scam if I ever saw one. Also rather expensive. But it is all the rage in management circles now, so it is "a priority for us." No one said - does this money we are spending and the time we are spending actually improve anything for anyone? Had they asked they'd have found the answer was, no.

It's the same with SW. Most workplaces can figure out how to be respectful and try and responsive to their actual employees input. They don't need to pay thousands a year to have some lobby group tell them how to do it.

Oblomov21 · 05/11/2021 20:55

Who agreed thus?

I love this comment in The Times

Out school could do with more funding for SEND, bereavement, MH issues including self harm and anxiety.

Where is the money to tackle these problems?

Ritasueandbobtoo9 · 06/11/2021 06:24

Beyond disgusting waste of public money.

Igneococcus · 06/11/2021 06:26

I wonder how much money the MoD has spent:

As an aside, I love how 'gender identity' is increasingly being put in quotes in these articles. I like to imagine there's an accompanying eye-roll too. Hmm
