The BBC is complicit in failures to safeguard children

The BBC has been complicit in safeguarding failures that put children at risk

This has been evident for some time.

Timeline from seen in journalism:

https://www.seeninjournalism.com/blogs/how-the-bbc-was-captured/

Specifically from that piece:

Summer 2014 All About Trans had an Interaction with CBeebies and CBBC, attended by Helen Bullough, Head of CBBC In House Productions, and Joe Godwin, Head of BBC Children’s, who went on to chair a second social event in September 2014 of that year

‘Outcome of the meeting: volunteers worked with the researchers to provide support for the My Life documentary featuring a young transgender boy called Leo. My Life – I am Leo was broadcast in November 2014 on CBBC’

July 2014 All About trans interaction with Sue Owen, the Managing Editor for BBC Radio Merseyside andAziz Rashid, Head of Regional & Local Programmes at BBC North West.

August 2014 All About Trans interaction with the Audience Council in Wales (which no longer exists)

September 2014 Second CBBC About Trans interaction (see above) attended by Kay Benbow (Controller at CBeebies) and Vanessa Amberleigh (Executive Producer CBeebies).

April 2015 BBC2 broadcasts Louis Theroux: Transgender kids

Around this period Cathy Newman met All About Trans but we haven’t got the date

BBC Two - Louis Theroux, Transgender Kids

Louis meets pioneering medical professionals who help children with gender dysphoria.

Thank you @MrsOvertonsWindow, I knew there were some from TT but hadn’t had time to find them

Yes.
We need to be challenging all the current attempts by the BBC to minimise this scandal down to one fake item about Trump.
Thei promotion of transgenderism at children especially, and society in general, is a scandal of epic proportions.

I haven't seen anything on BBC about men's 'milk' - when was that?

It’s on the timeline, not sure about significance of that

From the link:

"Included in the log are the activities of other parties involved such as Channel 4, Trans Media Watch, Ofcom, All About Trans and so on. Channel 4 fell faster and, over time, has fallen harder, while the BBC shows signs of waking up."

It's a log to record relevant events.

I don’t disagree about the imbalance and the silencing of women’s concerns, but I also don’t want to throw out the baby with the bath water. The BBC is just one of many institutions that have been deliberately, carefully and strategically weaponised by a TRAs lobby. Done to every ‘progressive’ and liberal institution including politicians, healthcare and education professionals in North America and Europe. Even some lawyers. And even whole countries (Canada). This is a chance for the BBC to redress that balance but I really hope that this does not allow its critics to bring the whole organisation down.

WarriorN · 10/11/2025 17:25

No I don’t want to see the end of the bbc.

I want self reflection and accountability and meaningful change

What conservative, left and right, and progressive all mean is something that truly fascinates me, as does the extent to which I have changed.

I hate the idea that we all get more right wing and conservative as we get older... but maybe we do.

But the more I think about it the more I am still exactly how I was in 1990 as a mid-teenager. I still support left wing, social democratic capitalism (ie I am a fair bit to the left of labour since Blair in economic terms); I still support women's and LGB rights. I still hate people who push homophopbic language or traditional gender roles being imposed on people's sexed bodies. I have never claimed to be a socialist.

I have gone from someone for whom labour or maybe lib dems were the least bad option, to someone who despises the lib dems, greens and much of the people and policies of labour. I could broadly be seen to be closer to the tories in terms of social policies now (because the tories are closer to a 1990 progressive position than the regressive more leftist parties are). I despise socialism more than I have ever done before, and don;t see that any of the mainstream or vaguely mainstream parties offer coherent social democratic capitalism.

Right @JamieCannister as we are trying to deal with facts here, can we nail this one about people getting more conservative as they age? It’s repeated time and time again as though it’s an unvarying truth. It isn’t. What the study shows is that this is a tendency, which diminishes if you control for parenthood. “These findings support the hypothesis that parenthood and parental care motivation increase social conservatism”.

You also have to consider that gender ideology is in many ways more right wing than left wing:

  • against regulation
  • lack of respect for or understanding of the equality law framework.
  • conservative understanding of gender
IwantToRetire · 10/11/2025 18:28

Not arguing against the list of programmes, but is the BBC output in relation to trans issues any worse than other channels?

Is anyone else considering cancelling their license ? It's just getting out of hand and I don't watch the BBC except radio 4 which is actually exempt

Don't forget prioritising individual wants over collective needs.

You need a licence to watch any live broadcast, even if not on BBC

Yes its based on the original BBC which was to allow people to receive broadcast over airwaves in their home.

So another of the "facts" about the BBC that people always roll out and isn't true.

I wish people were as critical of other broadcasters in the UK, particularly the news.

Most people spend their time getting worked up about "facts" that aren't true.

Seem happy to accept what are in facts comments from other broadcasters without question, and base their opinions on them.

It is the more recent so called "news" broadcasters that have changed news into stating what is an opinion as fact.

Which makes it only too easy to con people. Look af Boris lying about Brexist being oven ready. And all those who fell for the lies play everybody else but themselves.

And no doubt are people who in real life say they can always spot a con artist.

Mollyollydolly · 11/11/2025 01:40

One of the people mentioned in that Seen document was my ex boss. They left the BBC and a colleague told me that he'd had a conversation with them that they should put in for the Stonewall job (would have been when Nancy Kelly got it). They replied 'Darling no way, it's a poisoned chalice' so not completely daft.
Seriously though, 'I am Leo' was a travesty, an absolute travesty, Children's BBC have a lot to answer for, not just BBC News.

IwantToRetire · 11/11/2025 01:59

Maybe the BBC is like a lot of families who are trapped by finding their child/ren have been infected by the trans narrative and dont want to confront or upset their child/ren.

And there is the BBC no doubt with an influx of recent graduates who arrived fully transed, and the older staff are thinking we need to not be challenging and make them feel welcome.

Which in this instances means allowing decisions on programmes etc., are then all subject to the new, cutting edge approach to society.

And then they become so important they end up having their own newsdesk which gives them powers to approve or disapprove of a programme's content.

David Aaronovitch:

hugely problematic. If nhs staff and teachers and a range of other professional exclusively consume BBC content, as I know they do, alongside the guardian (most teachers), they had no idea about the Cass review nor its significance

Cass has been part of KCSIE for two years now.

I bet if polled, most uk teachers wouldn’t know what it is, wouldn’t have read it or if they have, completely disagree with it.

This is second way the BBC has failed children.

DA wrote a valedictory piece for The Times about drag story hour and how people were getting into a fuss about nothing, it was all benign, etc. He'd been to see one such DQ story hour and gave the name of the DQ. I went onto said DQ's Twitterfeed and there were several tweets by the DQ saying how they wanted to touch their male genitals in public on a train. Eugh. And yet DA was telling us that it was all fine, just a lot of fuss about nothing. He didn't seem to grasp that even if DQs behave responsibly in front of children (and I'm sure most of them do), children can easily access social media, or have older siblings who will do it for them, and they can easily come across posts like this, which aren't suitable or them.

I have given talks and story times in schools and I can promise that if my SM included posts by me talking about my genitals, there's not a hope I'd have been allowed in.

Its not just what might be seen on SM but an indecent act in public would a huge red flag and likely lead to other more serious offences.

The BBC and all mass media are complicit in the propagation of trans ideology across society over the past 10-15 years, as are Stonewall, Mermaids and the medical industry, doctors, surgeons, psychologists, therapists, etc who all pushed this nonsense for financial gain. They have all made a lot of money out of the trans wagon with little or no consequences to them.

The film and television industry also jumped on the bandwagon,, eager to maximize profits while taking virtue-signalling to a whole new level.

However, the ones that gall me the most are the middle-class narcissists demanding special privileges for their trans offspring at the expense of vulnerable women and children in society while steadfastly refusing to acknowledge the existence of the large cohort of middle-class middle-aged men with a porn-induced fetish in their midst.

Agree. The BBC wasn't / isn't some isolated media outlet in its totally complicity with the trans narrative.

And it is as much to do with the mainstream, whether papers, magazines, ads let alone tv that "normalised" the trans agenda that led to not just to GC women being silenced but also young people being harmed.

IwantToRetire · 11/11/2025 18:50

And so many older people in all areas of life assuming they had to agree with whatever young people said. I suppose we should be grateful we haven't ended up with furries presenting the news!
