Rejected petition Stop Lottery funding going to charities that deny the rights of girls.
Investigate some LGBT charities that receive Lottery funding. Ensure they do not misrepresent the Equality Act; and/or ignore the privacy and dignity of girls in their advice to schools and other publicly funded entities; and that safe guarding policies remain in tact without exception.
More details
The Government should do this as they ultimately govern the National Lottery funding and have a duty to protect children and vulnerable people. We rely upon systems that do not bend to the whim of the latest cause célèbre that can persuade people, even the good intentioned, to ignore rigid safe guarding. This may well be a campaign that promotes an end to single sex spaces in a school, for example. Safe guarding policies must be fail safe or they are pointless.
