Does anyone have a share token for today’s Times article?

Never mind, found an archive via Twitter.

Pretty damning stuff and obviously the reason SG has gone.

There's a share token for that article on the other thread along with Times reader comments. All good news IMO and about time : )

Well I hope Green and Bell are prosecuted.

The Charity Commission's statutory inquiry began on Monday 28 November: www.gov.uk/government/news/regulator-announces-statutory-inquiry-into-mermaids

Already applied lol.

Signalbox · 02/12/2022 16:01

This is going to be interesting isn’t it because presumably they can’t ask about your protected beliefs at interview stage. If they did they could find themselves in difficulty.

AllIwantforChristmas22 · 02/12/2022 16:05

@Signalbox doesn’t seem to me they care much about processes and regulations. I do wonder if they find anyone applying, maybe a hardcore supporter? Can’t imagine many sane people in the sector are interested…

Omg

Powerful stuff from Mia. This isn't a naive mum wanting the best for their child it's a complete failure of safeguarding by multiple agencies.

@Happylittlechicken is going in undercover as a gender is everything down with sex candidate. She's definitely going to get the job!

Fingers crossed

Sorry!!! Didn't scroll down far enough to see it was already on there

No mention of Susie Green's unexplained departure last week.

No mention of Susie Green's unexplained departure last week.

Yes there was, briefly - they said she quit.

Wow That advert!!! With everything from salary to hours up for negotiation it sounds quite desperate, along with a tight lipped "Following the departure of their CEO"...

Change of CEO at mermaids…
Ch3wylemon · 02/12/2022 20:09

It's incredibly desperate. Employee or daily rate doesn't exactly scream steady she goes.

Am tempted to offer one day a week from home. Happy can have the rest of week.

FannyCann · 02/12/2022 20:10

Also I note they state they are for "children and young people aged 20 and under"

Please correct me if my memory is wrong but didn't they previously include up to 24/25 in some of their events/forums? Maybe I imagined it.
