The Safer Schools Campaign, made up of more than 150 families that have lost children to suicide or had them seriously harmed or killed, due to bullying, physical and sexual violence in UK schools, is led by former teacher Jason Barnett.
For a number of years the campaign has been calling on government for an inquiry, into a number of related safeguarding and systemic failings, as well as an alleged cover up of the issues, involving more than 650 ministers, MPs and individuals in positions of power, including former Children’s Commissioner Anne Longfield.
The High Court assessing the campaign’s allegations of a cover-up, found the failure of MPs to ever investigate revealed “tremendous incompetence”. Successive governments and Prime Ministers over the years, including Keir Starmer, have completely failed in this regard and an inquiry would help ensure the safety of millions of children across the UK.
The failures to investigate, have led to concerns expressed by the European Commission’s Head of Human Rights, High Court and Court of Appeal judges and a case review by the United Nations. Moreover, a recent terrorism review evidenced the failings if ignored, would likely lead to future atrocities including school massacres. The Government response and that of Keir Starmer, instead of taking action to prevent further harm, has been to take a number of steps that have allowed this to be covered up.
Through this site, with arguably the UK’s biggest ever scandal being covered up and censored by government, MPs and the Media, you can follow our continuing journey to achieve justice, give power to protect back to parents and carers and ultimately make sure that school across the globe becomes a safe place for every child to be.
