The full implications of the judgment will take some time to emerge, but it is likely to be be seismic for the social work profession. Its timing hot on the heels of the Cass Review could hardly be better.

It is shameful that women who express legal and acceptable views about sex and biology are treated in this way. What a relief this must be for Rachel Meade but she should never have been out through this in the first place.

Thank you so much for inviting me to be on the panel. It’s so important to look after our wellbeing, as Cllrs, candidates & campaigners. It’s ok to step back when it’s overwhelming and always have a life outside of politics ! 🌹

“Mind have a well-being action plan for those working in politics.

You need to know what are the small signs you are struggling; use that as a framework of discussion for people around you. Share it when you are in a better place. Build the support system around you”

There has been change with Operation Bridger”
