I think, if you research the matter, you will find that there were similar personal attacks to those just witnessed directed at David Kemper and myself which helped caused the demise of this group. Frankly, I think it is better without those that think they own it, but nobody was compelled to leave. You are not clever in being able to make abusive and personal remarks. It does nothing to advance any argument you might have, and as anyone that knows me will confirm, it will not cause me to deviate from the issues. However, to answer some of the naive points raised in the typically pejorative manner: The BCU Child Protection Policy (and poster!) contain the following: "If you have any concerns that a child may be experiencing any form of abuse, it must be reported either to your appointed club officer or to the BCU Child Protection and Harassment Officer. Alternatively, any concerns can be reported to Social Services, the Police or NSPCC Childline on 0800 800 500." The Police are only interested in matters of a criminal nature. Most of the issues that have been reported to me are of a coaching matter and should be addressed by the BCU. If they believe the matter to be of a criminal nature, it is /their/ duty to pass it on to the Police. Once reported to the BCU as the 'relevant authority', that should have been the end of my involvement, but BCU claims that the allegations have been 'fully investigated' are quite wrong and the matters are therefore not closed. The fact that I was expelled for (allegedly) reporting a Child Abuse incident is unforgivable. As you claim you are satisfied with the BCU reply to your enquiry, how about sharing it with us? In my experience, their answers do not stand up to scrutiny. I am currently involved with a number of issues with the NSPCC - in particular how our so-called Child Protection Officer deals with reports of a child protection nature.
