- AM ScanlonRT @jan_murray: Imagine being in your first week of social work training and being told that some of your fellow students might be there to gain access to vulnerable children. Shocking, right? But this social worker’s point applies anywhere adults work with children. Some people will seek out those roles for the wrong reasons. And the person whose behaviour you need to question might be the nicest person you know. She also makes an important point about why safeguarding starts with having a clear sense of what’s normal and what isn’t. Once that boundary starts to blur, it’s easier for someone to cross it without being challenged. I wish I’d seen this video years ago. I can think of times when something felt off and I kept quiet because I worried I might be wrong or cause offence. Thanks @JournalistJill for highlighting it.0296014
- AM ScanlonRT @drsanjoykumar: “the individual who deleted the files could not be identified by any investigation” -This has got to be the biggest scandal heard from the same Trust that breached medical notes of our children from Nottingham attacks. - We found data breaches and now systematic and planned data deletion. This is totally scandalous. I have long said the Sec of State for Health needs a total management replacement at this hospital immediately…….. Sec of State you are sleeping on the job…..get on with it. This Trust has got to be the most scandal ridden in the country. “Get Nottingham right, get the country right” @YvetteCooperMP @DHSCgovuk @KemiBadenoch @DamianHinds0390020
- AM ScanlonRT @DrPamSpurr: 🚨UPDATE on my wrangling with The Bridge Charity "Women's" Gym. The @ChtyCommission FINALLY replied to my complaint about them admitting MEN. Screenshots ⬇️ They're to inform The Bridge of their duty to ONLY include women. As The Bridge website still includes those who "ID as women" I've emailed The Bridge again. I won't let this drop! Now The Bridge has replied to my email about @ChtyCommission (screenshot). Note the pronouns 🤪 FYI My speech about The Bridge:Dr Pam Spurr Psychologist & Artist 🟢⚪🟣 @DrPamSpurrAppalling that The Bridge "women's" charity gym is STILL allowing MEN in their Southwark gym. @bphillipsonMP you must publish the guidance.

Innocent women changing in this gym may come across fetishistic MEN as Tish Hyman did at Gold's gym. None of the charity's directors are active on X so we can't challenge them.079014

I've met Russell Brand twice (I think): Once when I hosted a Guardian Live event about his book in 2014. Another time I interviewed him for The Big Issue when I was guest editing in 2015. He also gave my publishers an endorsement for my book The Establishment, which I was mortified about at the time mostly because I thought it was so OTT it would obviously invite ridicule (which it did). At the time I saw him as a crude means to reach disillusioned younger people with left-wing politics - the sort of people who wouldn't be reached by conventional left-wing journalists and politicians. As a result I was willing to overlook, or just not look into, his history of problematic behaviour / statements, including sexism. I convinced myself that he was on some sort of journey and that was a good thing. That was an obvious misjudgement. I did think he was a bit of a chancer / had a messianic complex, but overlooked that too as a necessary evil in reaching disengaged people. But that was clearly his main driving force and he clearly ended up concluding that right-wing politics was a better vehicle to satisfy it. It's an important lesson in not stupidly engaging clearly problematic figures, however charismatic or however much mass appeal they have, in the service of a cause. What I would say is that right now we should be centring the survivors of a rapist and sexual predator. I personally don't really think those trying to point score have his survivors' interests at heart. I would also argue that those with the big questions to answer are the right-wing figures who continue to stand by him and spread conspiratorial nonsense in his defence. Finally, let's hope that other possible survivors of Russell Brand feel able to come forward.1.5K1201.9K1M- AM ScanlonRT @TwisterFilm: The Humanists have squandered their once noble reputation.

- AM ScanlonRT @RhodesFi32898: An earlier victim of Russell Brand was subjected to a lifetime gagging order when she reported the sexual assault in 2014. She can't even discuss what happened with her own family. Maybe, this could be used to free her and hold him accountable for what he (allegedly) did to her, too? Szilvia Berki Remember her name, please. She was blamed for speaking out and yet many are asking why women didn't speak out at the time. This is why.012016
