The updated guidance does not improve on the previous guidance and creates potential safeguarding issues, as outlined by Dr J Cunningham, a retired pediatrician...To date, the Scottish Government has refused to listen or consult with professionals knowledgeable about child development and has preferred to listen to activists. There is also growing concern and anger amongst many families regarding harm already caused to their children and their family life. We would welcome a

We are compelled to express our grave concerns about the Scottish Government’s recent guidance, Supporting Transgender Pupils in Schools. While the clarification of existing law and the 1992 Education (Scotland) Regulations is valuable, the underlying premise of this document remains profoundly troubling. It is not a neutral framework but, rather, a continuation of the push to embed gender identity ideology within our schools—an ideology lacking scientific foundation

We previously submitted a petition, requested information that was not forthcoming, asked for meetings with key politicians which never happened, and sent numerous statements of our grave concern over the handling of gender ideology in all our key institutions. None of our concerns were taken seriously and we now find ourselves, yet again, back in Groundhog Day.

The Scottish Government has at this time of writing (September 2025), failed to withdraw its guidance, Supporting Transgender Pupils in Schools. As a result, For Women Scotland have initiated formal proceedings against the Scottish Government for failing to withdraw its self-id policies for schools and prisons.

The concept of the 'trans' child is discussed in relation to safeguarding. We believe there is significant urgency in the task of creating circumstances in which education, health, and social work professionals can receive the support necessary to return them to their ethical and fiduciary role of safeguarding. It is time to address the disastrous professional neglect that has operated when nonsensical theories have been favoured over reality, and to create new support networ

Disclosure Scotland’s website states, “If you're transgender you can apply for a disclosure using your present gender and without telling your employer what your previous name was. You only have to tell Disclosure Scotland.” ScotPAG regards this as a worrying safeguarding risk. Services for vulnerable individuals such as care, health services, schools, police, prisons etc. would be open to being accessed by an individual with criminal intent who would be able to change their

ScotPAG interviewed a former manager in a large education service and a head teacher of a moderately sized primary school. Both interviewees shared their concerns about the impact gender ideology and the transgender movement is having on our Scottish education system, the teaching profession, pupils and their families.

Public trust is essential to UK communities. It forms the foundation of a functional and cohesive society. When individuals trust institutions, leaders, and each other, it encourages cooperation, civic engagement, and promotes societal stability.

Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is a surreal exploration of a world where logic is upended, authority is questioned, and societal norms are challenged through absurdity. Spookily, it would seem that the Sandie Peggie vs. NHS Fife tribunal reveals a twenty-first century clash of perspectives, policies, and principles that mirrors the disorienting and contentious landscape of Wonderland.

An organisational culture steeped in authoritarian ideology, is characterised by centralised control, rigid hierarchies, and the suppression of dissent

Education, Social Work and Health Professionals urge Scottish Government Cabinet Ministers to withdraw ‘harmful schools and social work guidance'

How a story for 5 year olds may help ...   Our previous blog featured the now infamous Noddy story, which took aim at the Care...

ScotPAG would like to help the Care Inspectorate out. We believe that safeguarding children has always been essential for our public services, and to aid the Care Inspectorate in its comprehension of role and function, we will keep things simple and understandable, indeed at a level that even a five year old could grasp.

The third part of our interview with Dr Chrysostom highlights what can only be described as a complete dereliction of duty of care and professional accountability on the part of the medical profession. In addition, this blog provides clear evidence of the failure of the medical profession to explain why vulnerable children and young adults with a range of traumas and psychological conditions, are being treated with life-changing surgeries for their psychological issues.

Q: What are the harms caused by surgery, including phalloplasty, for young women? A: These vulnerable young adolescents and adults are being misled. They are consenting to surgery under the false belief that they will be provided with a functional penis. The very name of the procedure, "phalloplasty" seems designed to perpetuate this illusion.

When did you start to become concerned about ‘gender affirming care’ and what alerted you to this issue? A: For more than a year, I came across parents of patients who were in the process of being referred to gender clinics for so called “’gender affirming care.” ... "Many of these youth, in my opinion, are encouraged to believe through social media indoctrination, that they are born in the wrong body. There is no scientific basis for such an ideology
