  1. Some families are not dangerous.

    They are traumatised.
    Exhausted.
    Hypervigilant.
    Trying to survive while being assessed at the same time.

    There is a difference between distress and danger.
    And systems need to learn it.

  6. Hi 👋

    I’m Charlie.

    I write about the gap between safeguarding systems, trauma, autism, survival, and what real lived experience actually feels like underneath the paperwork.

    Not from textbooks.
    From living it.

    You’ll probably find:
    • raw honesty
    • reflections on social work & safeguarding
    • autism/ADHD family life
    • nervous system survival
    • writing projects
    • uncomfortable truths people usually avoid

    I’m not here to be polished.
    I’m here to be real.

  7. Remember when we Queers were fighting for Marriage Equality and the bigots were crying that acknowledging Queer love would degrade the institution of Marriage?

    Anyway, let's see what the Straights are up too.......oh my!

  8. One of the core benefits of having a membership with the #AoCPP and #ISPCAN is that they both include access to extremely valuable, current #research on #Safeguarding and #ChildProtection. I'm currently evaluating how to best equip #teachers and other #school staff with skills and knowledge to improve child safety. Finding current research on exactly that topic is invaluable!

  13. Hello (again) Mastodon! 👋 I’m an international educator, psychology grad, and "pracademic" focused on #InternationalEducation.

    Psychological and physical safety is a prerequisite for learning. Yet, #ChildProtection is complex and culturally nuanced. I apply academic research to the daily realities of #Safeguarding in schools.

    Excited to connect with peers and build safer communities together.

Two concerning harms proposed - one by omission - #ClimateChange, and other by reliance on a discredited, biased review. #EduSky #NowOrNever

  30. I spent a wasted hour reading about an organisation I'm a passive member of and its Safeguarding Policy, or lack of!

    It's all a bit scary if you start thinking about this sort of thing.

    It seems that they're starting to turn the ship around after a couple of 'near miss' events - and about time too.

  40. Children’s Commissioner demands reform after ‘serious failures’ in Church’s handling of paedophile bishop

    A review into how the Church handled allegations against Anthony Pierce, the former Bishop of Swansea and Brecon, revealed a series of “serious failures” over several decades.

    Senior clergy knew of sexual abuse concerns against Pierce in the 1990s but did not report them to the police until 2010. Despite this, he was still promoted to Archdeacon in 1995 and then Bishop of Swansea and Brecon in 1999.

    Pierce was jailed last year for sexually abusing a boy in the 1980s while serving as a parish priest in West Cross, Swansea. He had previously been found guilty of indecent assault with a child.

    Following his conviction, the Church in Wales also took the step of deposing Mr Pierce from holy orders, meaning he is no longer a priest.

    Now, the Children’s Commissioner for Wales, Rocio Cifuentes MBE, has said the case demonstrates “why independent oversight of safeguarding arrangements in faith settings remains essential.”

    “Children and survivors must have confidence that their concerns will be acted on robustly and impartially, not minimised or ignored,” she said.

    “The report also highlights a clear need for a strong, safe whistleblowing pathway for individuals within institutions to be able to raise concerns without fear of negative consequences. I will be raising this again with Welsh Government, and will seek a meeting with the Church in Wales to discuss their response.”

    The Commissioner is now calling for a requirement for a clear, safe whistleblowing route within faith settings, independent oversight of safeguarding in religious institutions, and stronger national governance, including the consideration of a Child Protection Authority.

    She said the current review of safeguarding governance in Wales is an important moment to strengthen protections and ensure gaps like those highlighted in this case are finally addressed.

    “Children and adults affected by abuse deserve timely, trauma-informed support and clear routes to raise concerns, which should always be acted upon,” she added, paying tribute to the courage of those who came forward.

    The Church in Wales has published the full report on its website and has said it accepts its findings in full, with the Archbishop of Wales describing the review as showing a “catalogue of failures” which can “only be a source of shame for the Church.”

    The Most Revd Cherry Vann, Archbishop of Wales, said:

    “The welfare of the victims of sexual abuse must always be our paramount concern, and we offer our most heartfelt apologies to those who have been failed by the Church in the past.

    “The review shows in painful detail the missed opportunities, the harmful assumptions and the inadequate processes which characterised the Church’s response to these allegations of abuse for far too long. This catalogue of failures can only be a source of shame for the Church and will have caused further trauma to abuse victims and their families.”

    The Archbishop added that while safeguarding processes had “improved immeasurably” since the periods covered by the review, there was “no room for complacency.”

    The current Bishop of Swansea and Brecon, the Rt Revd John Lomas, also apologised unreservedly for the failings.

    He said:

    “The trauma experienced by victims of abuse within the Church is made all the worse by the breach of trust they have suffered, and, as this review has shown, by the failings of the Church as an institution.

    “While nothing can undo the wrongs of the past, and while we can only apologise unreservedly for the failings this review has brought to light, we hope that this review will go some way towards showing our determination to be clear and robust in ensuring these issues can never happen again.”

  41. On one level this #meme is genuinely funny, but in reality its a good way for the kid to end up with a #safeguarding referral or worse, Dad ends up losing custody/visiting rights if he is no longer in a relationship with the kids mum (its happened to people I know!)

    (I suspect the meme is from about 10-15 years ago when folk were more tolerant about #partydrugs use)

  42. Govia Thameslink #Railway has created a #Safeguarding Manager role to support passengers and staff across its #Gatwick Express, Great Northern, Southern and Thameslink networks. The post replaces and broadens the former Suicide Prevention Manager role. Rebecca Butler, who has more than 20 years’ safeguarding experience with vulnerable young people and adults, has been appointed. She previously led safeguarding teams at #Brighton & Hove City Council. At GTR she works with managers on issues such as #suicide prevention, County Lines, homelessness and violence against women and girls, alongside Network Rail, local authorities, #British #Transport Police and #charities including the #Samaritans and Railway Children. GTR says the role strengthens its commitment to safety, with the wider safeguarding work also supported by its “Your Station, Your Community Improvement Fund”.
