EHCP safeguarding from gender ideology

[Coconutmeg]

Smart

Good for her. What about kids without an EHCP though?

If these messages are still being conveyed in school then the student will probably still hear about it second hand from friends/peers.
I don’t think it will have a great impact on the individual but suppose it may make the LA /school question what all students are taught.

At least helpful adults will be aware their saviour needs are not going to be received with fear, nor applauses.

well done to mum!

Well done that Mother.

That's brilliant well done that mum

Well done that mum. What are the odds of this being publicised as a way forward by any of the leading autism charities? I've got a crisp fiver on none.

Yes, excellent news and hopefully it will prompt schools to think about the other children being indoctrinated

Good luck with that. I can't see a teenager taking kindly to be excluded from lessons, talks etc on LGBTQ+ subjects, and in fact I question how it can work given that those topics can come up at any time in a variety of lessons.

For what it's worth, an EHCP is legally binding on the local authority, not the school.

Xoi yes EHCP is legally binding on the local authority but obviously that just means the LA have to make the school follow it.

SCOPE offers clear advice for parents on securing the child’s rights to what’s in their EHCP for if the EHCP is not followed by a school : www.scope.org.uk/advice-and-support/school-not-following-ehcp/

Clearly it’s been stated the EHCP exclusion has nothing to do with LGB subjects which should be covered for all children.

LGB issues are to do with sexuality. Not gender ideology.

And we are repeatedly told that the T is about gender, not sexuality.

Therefore there should be no issues and no overlap. Unless it is ina group’s best interests ti have an overlap for some other reason…?

I can! DD does not have autism; but does have considerable complex learning disabilities, due to a congenital brain abnormality. This includes rigid thinking. Really she found seeing heterosexual kissing disgusting, gay kissing was even worse!

She had to do LGBQT+ in sex education, and she complained to me every week how disgusting it was! I don’t know what they thought they were trying to achieve; but we told them, she didn’t get these views from us, she developed them all by herself; but they wouldn’t change her views by any amount of talking and it would only cause distress! None of the students were expected to be capable of sexual relationships and they only did sex education apparently to give them the vocabulary to complain, if they were ever sexually abused.

She was in a specialist college, where lessons were things like flower arranging, art, woodworking, weaving and materials, PE, cookery, and trips out to cultural places; so it was not true for them that LGT was going to come up in a variety of lessons.

OP if the mum is happy to share the wording of the restriction placed that might be really helpful for other families, seeing as the family’s LA have accepted it as part of their legal obligation.
Presumably it’s in the legally binding bit (section 7)?

More help on challenging if the school doesn’t follow an EHCP: www.ipsea.org.uk/enforcing-your-ehc-plan

IPSEA is the leading organisation providing independent legally based advice and support to families of children with SEND, for anyone who isn’t already familiar with their work.

Brilliant move by the Mum. Begs the question why aren't ALL children protected from harmful ideologies being taught in schools....many autistic girls won't have a diagnosis and won't have an EHCP!
