@nazirafzal Kier Starmer was one of very few prominent public figures to call for the #MandatoryReporting of known or suspected child abuse. Had government acted, much abuse may have been prevented & many saved from lifelong suffering #MR#BorisJohnson#JimmySaville

@churchsafeguard Unfortunately this could not happen here - where concealing child sexual abuse in NOT a crime.
What is needed is well designed #mandatoryreporting as advocated by @mandatenow#MR#MandateNow
Yet another male member of @InquiryCSA 's #vscp mysteriously disappears leaving 6 white females and one middle aged white male.
(Apparently he's 'returning to studies' after only a year in the job.)
#iicsa vscp representative of #csa victims?
Dipped into @churchofengland synod safeguarding debate to see how they're responding to @InquiryCSA recommendations.
Was struck by the woefully low numbers watching - only around 70!
Still more than watched some of the #iicsa hearings!
@InquiryCSA Well @InquiryCSA , Redress Scheme in its infancy and likely to take 2+ years. No consultation yet. Budget?
DSOs not yet created and lines of employment & accountability questionable.
ISB - 3 people working 2-3 days a week?
What real impact will this have?

@InquiryCSA Whilst we should be grateful for small victories, this is just tinkering round the edges & will make little difference if crimes remain unreported.
It's time for #iicsa to recommend #MandatoryReporting now. #CSA#MR#CofE#CatholicChurch
@InquiryCSA and how exactly does this protect children and the vulnerable exactly?
Better not to give honours to people suspected of abuse in the first place!!

It is ironic that @InquiryCSA is charged with assessing the Safegurerding Policies of other institutions yet refuses to publish its own policy or have it scrutinised.
It merely has a 'Safeguarding Statement'

A clear pattern is emerging from @InquiryCSA
Residential schools, Churches, Sports Clubs, Local Authorities etc. etc.
What's needed is Mandatory Reporting law now!

This is called Past Case Review #2. (#PCR1 was a car crash). But, it excludes dead clergy whose files are mostly 'destroyed' under a misguided interpretation of the DPA. Survivor testimony is imperative without which #PCR2 could be meaningless. Word reaches MN that its mistrusted
Despite promises from @InquiryCSA that VSCP would provide regular updates on their work, it's now been 2 years since we had an update, & that related to the previous year 16-17!
How can survivors have faith in VSCP when there's no transparency or accountability? #iicsa#CSA#CSE
This week will be a whole month since @InquiryCSA announced they HAD appointed 2 new #vscp members 'subject to security checks'.
Why the delay?
One would have thought that checks would have been done BEFORE hiring them! #iicsa#CSA
Jehovahs Witnesses state
"We comply with child-abuse reporting laws"
Exactly!
@InquiryCSA We need Mandatory Reporting in regulated activities NOW! As proposed by @mandatenow#iicsa#CSA#CSE#JehovahsWitnesses # #AandRhearing
