Sophie offers an important insight into the impact of sexual abuse in childhood. Social Workers need to hear what she has to say and I am of the view their practice will be enhanced by it!.

I would love to be able to say what Miriam is saying myself. She says it beautifully and she can because she is Jewish. Thank you #miriam.

If this post is true, Judge Woodall is in urgent need of training before hearing anymore cases regarding any kind of abuse of children. Every view of those images is a criminal offence. When did grieving &COPD become an excuse for child abuse?.
LIVERPOOL: Leslie Botham, 81, caught with 28,000 C S A images & videos, incl. babies & a p@edo manual, has walked free. Defence said he found 'solace in the net' after his wife died, has no friends & COPD. Judge Gary Woodhall considered his age & health & ordered 30 'rehab' days

A step in the right direction which was no doubt hard won. I’m questioning why clergy retain their right not to testify though? Surely that could weaken a case if that testimony is an essential aspect of the evidence. Transparency is needed in its entirety!.
Religious leaders in Washington will be required to report child abuse or neglect, even when it is disclosed in confession, under a new law signed by Gov. Bob Ferguson on Friday.

Absolutely.
We need an effective #MandatoryReporting law- not a watered down version as the government now proposes. My Thunderer column today (actually co written with @mandatenow & @SeenandheardUK , but only one author name permitted)

This is an appalling injustice. Cooper is a risk to children and I want to know when judges are going to wake up to the reality of the devastation and impact of this type of crime.
🚨📽FREED PDFile ADMITS HE'S A RISK TO CHILDREN⬇️. WALES: Ross Cooper 43, caught with 283 C S A images of children as young as 2 being r*ped, has walked free. Cooper's excuses were an "interest in naturism" & he "wanted to see how the female body developed as he had 2 daughters"

Educating our children and ourselves is important if we are to do our bit. This poem so cleverly expresses how the grooming process can work without the person understanding until so much harm has been done. It’s cruel.

We somehow find a way to survive abuse in childhood and have to keep finding ways to have our voices heard in adulthood. When will survivors be given the respect and justice we are entitled to? Survivors will not give up so the clergy need to give in!.

This feedback says so much Sophie. Thank you for turning your pain in to such a powerful tool to protect children. That’s validation right there!.
Sometimes we go into a setting which has such excellent practice that we come away with more than we arrived with. Yesterday we had the pleasure of working with the thoughtful and committed staff at the Manchester secondary PRU. It is hard to examine your own practice openly, and
