Today, the 8th January, is the one-year anniversary of my appeal to the Upper Tribunal against the DBS decision to put me on the Children’s Barred List and it comes during the appalling realization of the scale of the child rape and murders that have been perpetuated by the Pakistani Muslim gangs.
I was put on the CBL for allegedly causing emotional harm to a female student by referring to her as a female following the instruction of another child to refer to her as a male. In the bizarre world of the Equality Act, this counts as harassment.
One year on, and I still have had no direction or decision from the UT.
The transgender scandal and Pakistani rape gang scandal are fundamentally connected. At their heart is the abandonment of all child safeguarding principals in favor of extremists; the misuse of public office by officials at all levels; the silencing of whistle blowers; and illegal actions being taken to pursue political objectives. The lives of thousands of children (mostly girls) have been ruined by both.
The rape of children is a hideous crime and so is the coercion of vulnerable children onto wrong sex hormones. We should be under no illusions of the terrible fate that has fallen on to the youth of our country.
My alleged crime is misgendering and deadnaming. The DBS claim doing this caused emotional harm, even though the student affected was never spoken to or said this. Yet, the DBS ignored the likely harm that my student suffered by being coerced to start wrong sex hormone treatment when they put me on the CBL and have continued to ignore this in every representation I have made to them since.
The DBS placed me on the CBL on the 19thDecember, the day the long-awaited draft guidance for schools on gender questioning children was released. It took the DBS almost a year to complete their review, far outside their statutory timeframe. The draft guidance vindicated my precautionary approach to social transition. Their decision was clearly political.
My employment tribunal was in March 2024. Neither the Upper Tribunal nor the DBS responded to my appeal until two weeks after my employment tribunal when the DBS acknowledged they may have erred with their decision.
When the DBS put me on the CBL they knew my tribunal hearing was coming up but proceeded to do so anyway. In so doing they prejudiced my hearing. It is reasonable to speculate that the DBS decided not to issue their acknowledgment until after my tribunal to deliberately undermine my hearing. This is a ground of my appeal to the Employment Appeals Tribunal.
The DBS were given “deadlines” by the Upper Tribunal of 26th June and 26th August to complete their review, but they breached these without consequence.
In their August response, the DBS said they were considering keeping me on the CBL and would issue a minded-to-retain letter which I would have 8 weeks to respond to and they would need 4 weeks to review my response. The UT gave an 11th Dec deadline to complete the process.
The DBS delayed issuing their minded-to-retain letter till the 8th October, giving them only 1 week to review my response before the 11th Dec deadline if I took the allotted 8-week period. It was clear the DBS had no intent of ever reviewing anything I said, and their decision to keep me on the CBL was already made.
The DBS had adopted a policy of buying time and I complained to the UT about this, and the delay in issuing their minded-to-retain letter was just another action in this strategy.
The UT had directed the DBS to immediately advise them if I submitted my response early so that my appeal could be progressed. I responded within 2 weeks, but the DBS did not inform the UT. The process was never expedited, despite me telling the Upper Tribunal on the DBS’s behalf.
So now, today, the 8th January, my appeal has been ongoing for a year. This is despite me responding promptly to all correspondence and acting in good faith; following all processes that have been set out; to have acted in the best interests of my student; and to have been vindicated by the draft guidance and the Cass Review. Despite all this, I am still denied justice.
Either I am guilty of misgendering and it is a terrible crime that everyone should know about, or it is a nonsense accusation that no teacher should ever be subjected to. Either way, it would should not take 2 years to decide as it has done since New College Swindon made referral of me to the DBS.
This is what the UK has descended to. A nation where your guilt is presumed by the state, and where you are guilty until proven innocent without the opportunity to prove your innocence.
This nonsense case with its systematic denial of due process affects everyone in the country.
