Parents For Education

Standing for science, reality and reason across school policy and education settings.

Parents, as your child heads back to school, do keep an eye on what they are learning in RSHE. New statutory guidance is in place and schools should be issuing a new policy to reflect the changes, having consulted with parents last term.

If you are finding classroom materials or policies that breach new guidelines about RSHE, please do raise these with your child's school.

@SafeSchools_UK prepared this some years ago, but the advice here is still sound: https://t.co/eyVn9x8IQZ

Statutory Safeguarding has changed too, within Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE).

Both sets of guidance have things to say about sex and gender identity.

Oak National’s RSHE resources are produced with Life Lessons ‘a small private provider of RSE materials which are steeped in trans activist language’.
‘In 2022 it [Oak] became a fully funded arm’s length body (ALB) paid for by tax payers. 🤦🏼‍♀️

#RSHE resources will need to be checked by vigilant parents who want their children to be taught an evidence based curriculum using normal and plain language like "girls", "women", "boys", "men"

These are the words for human females and males.

(🤦‍♀️That these needs stating!)

[TransgenderTrend @Transgendertrd]

Why is Oak National Academy so frightened of using the words girls and boys in their school resources?

@charlesworth102 looks at the influence of gender identity and Queer theory behind Oak's reluctance to use ordinary language. Girls pay the price.

KCSIE avoids these terms. "Intersex" is an outdated terms for those with genetic conditions causing differences in sex development. All of those children are either male or female and their condition is not a social identity or form of gender questioning.

[Parents For Education @ParentsForED]

Unhelpful and disingenuous commentary from @Mattwrack at @NASUWT here.

He say its not clear how schools can act legally, despite the law on school toilets having been clear, and logical, for many years.

He should not be referring to children as "trans" or "intersex".

Exclusive: Official guidance on single-sex spaces that comes into force today does not meet basic tests to assure ‘legal certainty’ for schools, warns NASUWT

Not content with allowing boys into an all-girls school in secret, East Yorks. Council have now formalised their intention to continue doing so in the future with a new admissions policy for ‘trans pupils’ into the only single-sex school in their control

[TransgenderTrend @Transgendertrd]

The EHRC draft Technical Guidance for Schools is a case study of how harms can be disguised by using a framework of 'equality' to set policies for children.

We agree with @carolinefff: the updated KCSIE guidance may leave loopholes, but this is worse.

[Parents For Education @ParentsForED]

Our question, is how do Sex Matters suggest schools manage staff who claim to be the opposite sex and currently force children to use opposite sex honorifics and preferred pronouns for adults. What is the recommended policy, taking KCSIE and child first safeguarding into account?

The @DailyMail has published a major story based on Through the Looking Glass, exposing how outside education providers are smuggling in transactivist literature into primary schools. @ProtectTeach contributed. 🧵1/ @biologyinmed @Transgendertrd https://t.co/Bhaad8QkVZ

[Protect and Teach CIC @ProtectTeach]

What have you observed in your local schools?
Share specific examples of external providers or RSHE content that prioritises ideology over evidence.
Demand transparency as parents you have rights. Schools must prioritise safeguarding and impartiality under the law.
Tag your MP and school governors...ask them directly whether this funding aligns with the Education Act 1996.
@SuellaBraverman @CforWomenUK @LabWomenDec @MForstater @Baroness_Nichol

[Parents For Education @ParentsForED]

Schools *must* proactively engage and consult with parents when they develop and review their RSHE policy The new guidance will be in force from September so email your child's school today to find out what they are doing.

[Parents For Education @ParentsForED]

As teachers and governors start the work of drafting new RSE policies and consulting with parents in advance of next academic year, we hope they recognise the significant changes they will need to make regarding any content on gender identity.

[Legal Feminist @legalfeminist]

A Scottish primary school broke the law by failing to provide single-sex toilets: DE and FG v West Lothian Council.

[Safe Schools Alliance @SafeSchools_UK]

**** Action needed ****

We are again receiving complaints about @DiversityRM indoctrinating children in schools. They are not a benign group, they are an offshoot of @stonewalluk with a highly contentious political agenda.

You can see the type of #safeguarding failures with their schools materials on the hashtag #SchoolsDiversityWeek.

If they are in your child’s school you must request materials & make a formal complaint. It is important that you do this not only to protect your own children but also others. Legal action can be taken against schools who are breaching section 406 & 407 of the 1996 Education Act & indoctrinating children.

Our guide to making a complaint can be found here:

https://t.co/syx8oiNyV0

Do not tolerate this in schools. Do not accept being brushed off by schools that this is about kindness & inclusion. It is not. Do not accept being told you are bigoted or called any isms or phobias by the school. You are not. Many of the people who have been campaigning against these damaging & dangerous materials for years are themselves lesbian or gay & cover the full political spectrum.

"A child who experiences acute discomfort with the expectations and associations of their sex is not thereby demonstrating the presence of an innate cross sex identity; they are demonstrating the power of gender schemas and the distress that schema conflict can produce....

[Parents For Education @ParentsForED]

The rise in figures here is sad and disappointing. If schools were doing more to teach children the facts about sex being immutable and reassure that lack of adherence to stereotypes is perfectly normal then maybe children would not feel in need of counselling on this theme.

[The Telegraph @Telegraph]

A charity’s counselling sessions for gender-questioning children rose by a fifth in the past year, figures reveal

Childline delivered 476 counselling sessions relating to gender dysphoria in the year to March, up by 20 per cent from 396 in the previous 12 months 👇

My case management hearing against the DBS for putting me on the Children's Barred List for not following New College Swindon’s Gender Reassignment Policy is on the 23rd July.

A number of people have asked for the grounds following the permissions hearing, however they are subject to an anonymity order.

I understand some journalists have made an application to the Upper Tribunal for their release, so watch this space for updates.
