"I have often wondered whether the same professional challenge would have been received differently if my vowels had been a little smoother, my accent a little less Northern, and I'd learned to sound terribly agreeable while asking awkward questions. Unfortunately, my vowels are as short as my patience for bullshit."

Guarding the Flock runs on safeguarding, stubbornness and an unreasonable amount of caffeine. ☕🐑
If you enjoy my blogs, fancy buying me a cuppa?

Every coffee helps keep independent safeguarding voices heard. ❤️
Safeguarding is supposed to challenge power, not protect it.
But in the Church of England, asking difficult questions can quickly turn you from a competent professional into a problem to be managed.
You’re given a seat at the table, provided you know your place.
And if you refuse to know your place, they'll make damn sure you lose your seat.
Blog coming soon

Such a "bright lad" will realise that stalking and almost killing a girl in bright daylight = slap on the wrist.
And what about the bright girl who almost died? All the other bright girls who are stalked and attacked? What conclusions will they draw?
