New guidance

Sure, let men watch little girls take their clothes off; what’s the problem?

Male teachers could supervise girls changing under new NSPCC guidance for schools.

The child protection charity has now removed a policy which required adults supervising pupils as they change to be the same sex as the children.

Campaigners and MPs have now accused the charity of making the change under pressure from trans rights activists.

The NSPCC’s previous long-standing policy said: “Adults who are supervising children getting changed should be of the same gender as them [they are].”

But the children’s charity has now removed the line in its latest “safeguarding considerations for changing rooms” briefing, according to the Daily Mail.

The NSPCC said it made the change after a similar change from the Department for Education (DfE), but the Government denied this and said no such guidance was removed.

Oh. Ok, it was…um…some other department? A guy on the bus? Peter Tatchell?

The NSPCC said it did not change any policies because of pressure from activist groups and could change guidance again once more direction from the Equality and Human Rights Commission is given.

So why did it change the policy? Why did an organization whose whole purpose is to protect children decide that it’s fine to have men watch little girls take their clothes off? Please do explain, in simple words that we commoners can understand.
