MODERATORS
Estimates of child abuse range from 10-20% of all school age children in the UK. Any person who is working in a classroom (including TAs and volunteers) has had some amount of safeguarding training to help mitigate the risk of harm to children.
It is literally our/their job to help prevent or mitigate harm that might come to children in their home lives, and teachers, admins, and safeguarding leads make decisions every day based on a clear and well-monitored framework to do so. This decision, made by people with little or no experience in the field, spits in the face of all of that.
Exactly. "ALL SCHOOL AGE CHILDREN." We already have all these ways that teachers are obligated to report abuse if they suspect it. Why do we need to carve out special treatment of the LGBTQIA2S+ communities? They're just humans. If teachers suspect abuse, they should report it, whether it's for LGBTQIA2S+ or straight cis kids.
No your job is to be a public servant and educate kids. It's the parents responsibility to ensure their kids are safe.
Because it comes to parental rights, and limiting the influence government employees push on our youth.
My entire argument is I think parents should be given the information and ability to raise their kids how they see fit (obviously within limits, like abuse)
The alternative of government employees determining that they know what's best for other peoples children, without assuming the risk for their actions is insanity.
LGBTQIA2S+, good one. I think they prefer 2SLGBTQIA+ because it elevates indigenous communities. I don't miss the social sciences, it's fair to say.
I think the indigenous communities are equals, and I'm not afraid to say it.
