It's been a week. It is now public fact that this PE teacher assaulted me with a megaphone when I was a child at this school. Child abuse must stop. #mandatenow www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
If only Parliament debated the Crime and Policing Bill with as much vigour, for the sake of the 200,000 children who are abused each year. After all, their lives should be at least as important as the dignity for those nearing the end of their lives. #mandatenow #mandatoryreporting
I guess 500,000 children being sexually abused in the UK doesn't hold any impact for them. I have to say Labour don't seem to be taking it seriously either. #mandatenow
I have to say right-wing solutions to preventing child sexual abuse in the Crime and Policing Bill are equally inappropriate. So many get-out clauses, no criminal sanction for not reporting and evidence required includes actually witnessing the abuse. IICSA need not have bothered. #mandatenow
If only they gave as much coverage to the need for mandatory reporting in private schools. Money more important than the safety of children, evidently. #mandatenow
Why mandatory reporting must become law. #mandatenow
