IICSA #ResidentialSchools Hearing 27.11.20 - Sarah Hannett's closing statement for Ofsted. She again states Ofsted supports #MR. But it doesn't. It has mis-labelled a proposal that's without precedent and which keeps staff as whistle-blowers

IICSA #ResidentialSchoolsHearing 11/10/19 - Kim Harrison closing for CP's in Purcell School, Chetham's and Special Schools. Absolute clarity and once more a call for #MR. The power of the gatekeeper in specialist music schools is boundless.

IICSA #ResidentialSchoolsHearing 11/10/19 - Mr O'Donnell's closing for Core Participants of Stanbridge Earls. Neither CP's gave evidence so this is a summary from their statements. #MR is urgently needed for those employed in #RegulatedActivities

#ResidentialSchoolsHearing 11/10/19 - Ms Hannett, Ofsted's closing statement. It supports #MR except it then proposed staff remain whistle-blowers while leadership positions + DSL have #MR. Where is the precedent and evidence for this dangerous idea?

IICSA #ResidentialSchoolsHearing 2.10.19 - evidence about Chetham's and inspection by Ofsted provided by Helen Humphreys - Specialist advisor for residential care. Inspection needs to be a key contributor to functioning safeguarding in these settings

IICSA #ResidentialSchoolsHearing 2.10.19 - Part 2 of 2 - Evidence about Chetham's provided by Kate Richards Chief Inspector of the ISI and consultant Elizabeth Coley. Safeguarding inspection cannot be a 'snapshot' as suggested in this session.

#r4today 2.10.19 - Richard Scorer discusses @inquiryCSA's #ResidentialSchoolsHearing into Chetham's and the need for #MandatoryReporting of known and suspected abuse in these settings. The empirical evidence for it's introduction is overwhelming

IICSA #ResidentialSchoolsHearing 1.10.19. Chetham's. The evidence of A2. Deeply uneasy listening that many who were abused in residential schools will recognise. The career limiting power of music staff is an added dimension in these specialist settings

IICSA #ResidentialSchoolsHearing 30.9.19 - Richard Scorer representing pupils (and some staff) from Chetham's, Stony Dean + Apple Trees + otrs. Raised failures of governance, inspection + local authority | Safeguarding in #RA's is dysfunctional

#r4Sunday 4/8/19: Report into @churchofengland's Kafkaesque 'independent' review into clerical abuse perpetrated on Matthew Ineson. Kate Blackwell QC., asserts it's compromised before it starts. #chilling

#bbcr4Sunday 14.7.19 - A report on mandatory reporting, absent of fact. There's no functioning precedent for 'failure to report' law @churchofengland. Meg Munn as discreetly anti-MR as ever. Few social workers understand institutional safeguarding

#bbcr4Sunday 14.7.19 - Safeguarding lead bishop Peter Hancock tells BBC @churchofengland already has some form of #MR which he did not explain. We asked him to evidence this hologram. It took time to get a response which provided no answer

#bbcr4sunday 14/7/19 - A good @inquirycsa summary until @bathwellsbish relied upon the illiterate 'failure to report' (known abuse) proposal perhaps because its badged by @NSPCC + @childrenscomm who clearly do not understand the absurdity of it

IICSA 12/7/19 #Anglicanhearing @inquiryCSA - closing by Iain O'Donnell representing numerous core participant abusees. Mandatory Reporting features significantly and so does the call by Welby and Sentamu during their evidence for its introduction

IICSA #AnglicanHearing 9/7/19 - Meg Munn Chair Nat Safeguarding Panel CofE sidesteps the MR question and gets close to suggesting just better training alone will address non-reporting of known + suspected #CSA. There's no evidence to support her assertion

Compelling, chilling and worth each of its 44 minutes. Witness 'A4' #Anglicanhearing 1/7/19. On CofE culture change "you can look at a potato and say turn yourself into chips but nothing will happen until you get the bread board and a knife out."

IICSA #Anglicanhearing @inquiryCSA - Richard Scorer opening statement 1/7/19. Represents numerous core participant abusees.
