This is excellent, so easy to do. We’ve had a single woman pretend to know us and walk with us as she was being followed, he stopped and walked off, single women sharing a table in a pub as they felt vulnerable. We shouldn’t need to do this, but we do.
Was at a bar alone yesterday when the bartender said, “Hey, check out this text from my sister!” He showed me his phone and it said, “Do not, under any circumstances, get into a conversation with the guy sitting on your right.” Men, if you are in a position to do this, DO THIS.

I love how Sharron always makes a very clear point
Sport is exclusionary by definition to create fair play. 15 yr olds don’t get to race with the 10yr olds. Several classifications in Para sport. Weight categories in boxing for example. This IS exactly why Women’s sport exists. To give the female sex a sporting opportunity.

So true 🤦🏽‍♀️
My daughter just sent me this, for no reason, I may be dancing round the room.

This is such a sad review to read, in this day and age. I have no words that can express my fury at how we treat people and take away their powers whilst we give power where it should not be given. Well done safeguarding for insisting on this review.
Another Met Police scandal: a black girl was stripped and searched at school. The search, which involved the exposure of her intimate body parts, took place without an appropriate adult present and with the knowledge that she was menstruating. Case review: chscp.org.uk/wp-content/uplo…

I had a great day training today - wonderful group of practitioners
Replying to @ToniaRedvers
@ToniaParagon, Quality and Operations Director for PARAGON, is in Bicester today delivering DVA victim/survivor-focused training to national Restorative Justice practitioners. Working together in partnership to transform our communities, making them safer for all, (1/2)
This is a very good piece about inclusivity in sport and why female categories must be protected. The point raised that trans men don’t threaten male sports as they are biologically female is a great point and well made. Thank you for such a fair discussion @sharrond62
