A senior volunteer turned whistleblower revealed she quit the children’s charity NSPCC over aggressive forms of trans ideology being pushed on children.
Julia Marshall told the Telegraph she had begun to notice gradual creep in policy, which she described as “grooming.’
According to Marshall, she and other volunteers had been put under significant pressure to affirm children’s gender and were attacked for speaking out.
She claimed the new policies, which sought to give gender-questioning children more autonomy over their bodies was a “major red flag.”
The NSPCC, which was set up over 130 years ago, was initially concerned with protecting children from forms of physical, social, and mental abuse.
However, the whistleblower claims the charity’s policy to protect children had shifted after a compliance case was opened against the organization by the Charity Commission.
The Daily Mail reported:
Earlier this month, an eagerly-awaited review into the care of gender-questioning children in England and Wales tore apart current practices.
Dr Hilary Cass’s nearly 400-page report stated children have been let down by a lack of research on medical interventions like powerful puberty blockers and that guidelines for treating children who want to swap gender weren’t evidence-based.
Following the report’s publication, there has been significant backlash against gender ideology.
Last week, two Scottish health boards followed England to stop dishing out puberty blockers to youngsters after the Cass Review found that gender medicine is ‘built on shaky foundations.’
Following the report, Stonewall, which has been distanced by the government, announced that ‘many [of the] recommendations could make a positive impact’.
The comments were seized on by trans activists who accused Stonewall of betraying its supporters – with some even claiming the group had ‘blood on their hands’ for not denouncing the review.
Mother of three Ms Marshall has been a regular visitor to schools since 2012 through her role in the NSPCC and claimed that she spotted worrying signs of a creep in focus from as early as 2019.
For instance, her supervisor in Hertfordshire had begun including her pronouns, ‘she/her’, in emails.
“I had a long conversation with her about it,” she told The Telegraph’s Planet Normal podcast: ‘
“She said we’ve been told that it’s important to show inclusivity.”
Marshall claimed the organisation had been completely consumed by the ideology.
“They had a whole session on pronouns and transgender children,” she said.
“I was astounded because we were talking about primary school children under 11.”
“I said ‘What on earth is going on?’ I really did feel like I was an alien.”
“Everyone was like ‘No this is a thing, this is happening, it’s normal.”
“I said, ‘How can you not see as a charity that this is a safeguarding risk?”
“The reaction was ‘Well you’re weird.”
‘I thought I can’t work for this charity any more. It’s been completely captured by Stonewall.’
The NSPCC said they had no formal partnership with Stonewall but had engaged with them in the past.
They said:
“At the NSPCC, we pride ourselves on being a safe space for children and young people – whether that’s supporting them when disclosing abuse or providing a listening ear for any concerns.”
“In order to fully support children, we must create a non-judgemental space that allows them to feel comfortable and protected – something which is covered within our training. Something simple, like using a child’s preferred pronouns, is one way in which a young person can feel listened to and respected.”
“We would like to thank Julia for the years she spent volunteering with the charity, inevitably changing the lives of the young people she supported.”
A Charity Commission spokesman said:
“In May 2023 we opened a compliance case into the NSPCC to explore its management of the Childline message boards.
“After engaging with the charity, which commissioned an independent safeguarding team to review the message boards, we were satisfied the NSPCC had implemented the recommendations from this report.”
