🚨BREAKING🚨 The safeguarding report by CHSCP into Mossbourne Victoria Park Academy has been published. It describes the school's practices as discriminatory, harmful, unsafe, bullying & unlawful. It also savages MVPA's leadership & governance, and calls for urgent reform. 🧵

No transparency from DfE 1) Report on past failings uncovered by @defenddigitalme "may distract" from current Children's Bill And 2) Consultation on consistent identifier only planned AFTER Bill passed. And a no to sharing DPIA for child not in school register! #No2ChildID
Exclusive: The DfE has refused to release the full report of a damning audit that found it broke the law in its handling of pupil data – claiming it 'may distract' from plans to collate even more information on children https://t.co/yhuvjWqQBb

A government who claim to want to safeguard children @bphillipsonMP MUST listen to the voices & opinions of those best placed to advise on such matters. If @UKVCF are deeply concerned about proposed measures & ongoing failures, you should take heed. https://t.co/VtTXo6upLX

Parents sidelined, state takes control. Education freedom pays the toll. Schools lose power, families lose their say. Children’s rights stolen away. Parents know best, not the state Children's education rights shouldn’t be up for debate.

We are looking forward to our petition being debated Monday 4:30pm in Westminster Hall. https://t.co/WdNspCfz00. I was amused when I was double checking how inadequate the governments response was to my petition which is now closed to find an almost copy and paste of my petition.

“What’s needed is simple: to be supported, not watched. To be heard, not questioned. To be seen as a person—not a problem. That’s all we ever asked for. And yet, it’s everything the system still seems unable to give.” #SupportNotSurveillance
NEW POST: A shocking report by @CerebraCharity reveals widespread ‘systems-generated trauma’ by public bodies that’s breaking vulnerable families who’ve asked for support. In a post for SNJ, Cerebra CEO Jess Camburn Rahmani is calling for urgent action: https://t.co/jovoTG5npI

The need for safeguarding professionals to identify and effectively address harmful practices linked to cultural beliefs has long been debated and researched for practice. In the absence of guidance, we offer accredited practitioner training to support more confident practice...
There's a brutal truth at the heart of the Sara Sharif case, and it cuts deeper than any official review dares to admit: in today's Britain, the fear of being called "racist" carries more weight than the duty to save a child's life. That is the poison that killed Sara. Not by
