Pearsons and any schools using this are in considerable difficulties Not just because the Supreme Court judgment is so clear as well as the law on single sex facilities in schools. But now the draft Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE), (shortly to be ratified as the consultation has now closed) is very clear about a school's statutory responsibility to provide single sex toilets (para 106) and changing rooms "Schools and colleges must not allow a child, aged 11 years or older at the start of the school year, to undress in front of a child of the opposite biological sex, to comply with their safeguarding duties" (para 112).
Remember, when transactivists talk about toilets, they're also referring to changing rooms - but they know that if they said this openly, they'd get nowhere near children - hence their obsession with toilets.
There's been a huge response to this from the male led adult lobby groups who are used to being given uncritical access to schools and children with permission to gaslight them (especially girls) into having no boundaries and being too scared to complain about men and boys watching them undress.
All this is changed as finally the DfE & this government have recognised that it's a safeguarding issue when children are compelled to share what should be single sex facilities.
Safeguarding guidance is statutory - it's a must do, it's not negotiable.
There are severe consequences for schools who fail the safeguarding component of an Ofsted inspection. Nationally the number of schools "failing" for safeguarding reasons has reduced significantly to 0.07% of schools. In the future any secondary school who fails to provide adequate single sex toilets for students or who allows any boy to share changing rooms with girls is by definition breaching their statutory safeguarding responsibilities.
#nodebate and all that.
