@Emmabarnett just watching the documentary on endometriosis. My 17 year old daughter has been suffering for 3 years, the NHS have only just started to do anything. It's horrific. Due to being under 18 no diagnosis, no treatment, no investigation. #Endometriosis#EndoWarrior#Endo
@Montel_Gibson9 I have witnesses lol, never mind, I won't let you forget it but won't hold it against you lol, was really good to have a brief catch up :-) maybe a beer next time xx
You promise to smash criminal gangs, will you also address the institutional protection rackets that protect each other at the expense of children’s futures? #CSE survivors in Telford are still being off-rolled, retraumatised, and denied education under the watch of the local authority but not under its protection. How is that safe or fair?
@Cllrldcarter have you seen this? What has gone so wrong? @TelfordWrekin what is being done to help this family
@ShaunDaviesMP have you seen this?
One vocal person how many others are suffering in silence?
POST-CROWTHER REALITY CHECK | TELFORD 2022-25
2022 – Crowther Inquiry lays down crystal-clear rules:
‣ Act on CSE without waiting for a police charge
‣ Work with parents, not against them
‣ Keep victims in education, never punish them for trauma
2022-23 — My daughter discloses rape + sexual abuse.
School response? “No conviction = no safeguarding.”
• No CSE referral, no CATE link.
• Victim suspended; perpetrator stays.
• Risk assessment promised, never shared.
Crowther’s blueprint already ignored.
May 2023 — Internal “investigation”.
• Dates altered, evidence missing on CPOM, language like “mutual relationship”.
• Proposed managed move for the girl “so he can focus”.
Result: she leaves to stay safe; education lost.
Crowther Rec 6 (staff training) trashed.
2024 — 2024 – Same staff retaliate against her brother
Email from Trust executive:
“Staff act differently with your son because they fear complaints.”
Victim-blaming flips to family-blaming; complaint itself is weaponised to protect professionals, not children.
2025 — New college, same story.
Asked to apply Crowther-level safeguards (KCSIE 2024 / Working Together 2023).
Reply: “We need evidence for due diligence” No updated risk plan, no multi-agency link, no equality safeguards.
📍 Political roadmap of failure
1️⃣ Minimise unless police convict.
2️⃣ Isolate the victim, expel the noise.
3️⃣ Reframe parental challenge as “staff at risk”.
4️⃣ Keep repeating, because nobody enforces Crowther.
Two children, five academic years lost, three settings, one pattern: institution first, child last.
Crowther said “never again”; Telford made it a business-as-usual manual.

@ShaunDaviesMP have you seen this ?@TelfordWrekin we have come out the other side of a #CSE inquiry with gold standard. What has gone so wrong so quickly?
Have we taken our eye of the ball?
1 failure is to many failures. What could be happening to others ... Sickening
When a confirmed CSE survivor is off-roll, no risk assessment, no education, and her brother loses a GCSE year after staff retaliation, who is ultimately responsible?
@bphillipsonMP ⬅️ Education SoS
@jessphillips ⬅️ Safeguarding Minister
@ChildrensComm ⬅️ Children’s Commissioner
@Ofstednews ⬅️ Regulator
@educationgovuk ⬅️ Funding & oversight authority
@telfordcollege off-rolled her weeks after teaming up with @lct_education, then blocked her from every college-taught course. Their lone “offer”? An entry-level programme they only host, far below her proven Level 3 standard. They’ve ignored her documented legal vulnerabilities since January and now refuse readmission to the very Health & Social Care course they pulled her from.
@lct_education skipped the investigation stages of their own complaint process, after weaponising a CSE complaint against us. The DfE upheld my complaint in March 2025 and ordered them to return to Stage 2 and investigate. It’s now July. They still haven’t. And they’re still partnered with the college.
@telfordwrekin holds documented proof of past & current harm and still does nothing.
Proven harm. No plan. Every path blocked.
When process is broken and no one intervenes, where does the buck stop?

@AquariusWoman44 Can we get together for coffee? I would really like to help and understand what went wrong. As someone who campaigned for change in telford, I am horrified reading what you are saying :-(
@AquariusWoman44 I am so sorry this happened :-( (is happening). This is not supposed to be how it is. All this hard work was supposed to reform all of this :-( it breaks my heart.
@LukeShelley1@telfordutd I remember when you brought the trophy to ladygrove when the kids were small, and the smallest one was in the crowd at home yesterday it was brilliant :-)
@MartinSLewis@itvMLshow There needs to be another option, it needs to be fair for each child. None of them should feel, one is favoured over the other(s).
