I am an expert in child protection procedures, dealing with domestic abuse, elder abuse and the risks to the many vulnerable individuals in care homes and similar social facilities. It was my job for about 35 years. ‘Safeguarding’ is ‘keeping people safe and guarding them against identifiable risks’. The clue is all there in the word itself. Hence, there is a safeguarding protocol that requires all social workers to have enhanced criminal record checks before they are employed and at regular intervals thereafter. That’s because they come into contact with, provide services for and develop professional relationships with vulnerable people, with whom they are often alone and over whom they can exert considerable control. We don’t want serious criminals as social workers so we have safeguarding checks. That DOES NOT MEAN THOSE OF US WHO THINK THIS IS A GOOD IDEA THINK ALL SOCIAL WORKERS ARE CRIMINALS. Exactly the same rules apply to teachers and many other professionals, including lawyers who represent children in care proceedings. In all of these cases, safeguarding is about managing the known risk posed to vulnerable individuals by the surrounding circumstances of their situation, including, but by no means limited to, those where there are criminals who set out to target the vulnerable. This is why men are excluded from women’s spaces where the circumstances make women particularly vulnerable - toilets, changing rooms, prisons, hospital wards, sports teams, rape crisis groups to name but 6. Men pose a significant risk to women in such circumstances - bullying, harassment, voyeurism, rape, sexual assault, intimidation, coercion, control and other abusive behaviour. This doesn’t mean we think all men are rapists!! Trans identifying men are excluded alongside other men because men are the risky group and they are men who pose similar risks to other men. I say ‘similar’ and not ‘the same’ because the evidence shows they are, in fact, a greater risk. Male trans convicts, for example, are sex offenders at much higher rates than other men. Trans identifying men are men and therefore excludable as such for the same reasons as other men. You say that you ‘understand’ safeguarding, though you have failed to demonstrate that. I hope the above has clarified it for you. Only someone who is as thick as pig shit doesn’t understand this very simple concept. My guess is you understand the issue very well - you’re just a prize idiot/clown/wanker/troll.
