Questions for Alex and Dino:

What's happening with regards the mandatory reporting, IICSA and the Criminal Justice Bill?

1. The government came out with the latest ruling regarding mandatory reporting last week. What was changed?
2. Alexis Jay, the head of IICSA said that she was deeply disappointment by the new bill. Do you agree. If so why?
3. “The measures are a sham – worse than useless: this legislation will put back the cause of getting good law in place to protect children today in any institution, from schools and care homes to hospitals and sports clubs.” Voices Unbound 
4. What can we do to turn this around? Who can we contact or speak to?
