Petition to stop the Lottery funding organisations that ignore child safeguarding.

Stop the Lottery funding organisations that ignore child safeguarding.

There is a current petition to Nigel Huddleston, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Sport, Tourism and Heritage and Nigel Railton, CEO Camelot to stop the Lottery funding organisations that ignore child safeguarding.

Some of the organisations supported by the lottery have been found to misrepresent the equality act and advise schools against safeguarding practices vital to protecting children.

Safeguarding in schools

The Safe schools Alliance have recently highlighted a poster produced by the Proud Trust and used in some schools. The Proud Trust is lottery funded and is one example of an organisation that is misrepresenting the equality act and safeguarding. They are also known for producing an explicit sex-ed toolkit for children as young as 13.
