The Safer Schools Campaign, made up of more than 150 families that have lost children to suicide or had them seriously harmed, due to bullying, physical and sexual violence in UK schools, is led by former teacher and International children’s advocate Jason Barnett.
For a number of years, the campaign has been calling on Government for an inquiry into a number of associated failings and an alleged cover up of the issues by ministers, officials and MPs, knowing an inquiry would help ensure the safety of millions of children in schools across the UK.
The High Court assessing allegations of a cover-up, accepted the alleged failure of any MP to ever investigate, revealed “tremendous incompetence”. The allegations of failure, potential criminal negligence and misconduct, have now directly been levelled at every Prime Minister from 2016 to the present, including the incumbent Keir Starmer,
The failure to investigate, has led to concerns expressed by the European Commission’s Head of Human Rights, High Court and Court of Appeal Judges and most recently to the case being reviewed by the United Nations.
Through this site, with arguably one of the UK’s biggest ever scandals being hidden from the public, you can follow our continuing journey to achieve an inquiry, hold all those that have failed to account, 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.
