For the article in the Telegraph: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/education-and-careers/2025/12/03/working-at-a-boarding-school-is-like-being-in-a-cult/ 

And for the letter to write to your MP: https://seenheard.org.uk/boarding-on-insanity-parliamentary-screening/ 

In this short solo episode, I share an update and a heartfelt thank you.

On 19th January 2026, we’ll be hosting a special screening of our documentary Boarding on Insanity inside the House of Commons. We’re inviting MPs, charity leaders and the media to confront an uncomfortable truth:

In England and Wales, it is still not a criminal offence for professionals in regulated roles to fail to report known or suspected child sexual abuse.

In this episode I talk about:

• Why this screening matters so much
• The urgent need for effective mandatory reporting
• Why a dedicated Child Protection Agency is essential
• How institutions often close ranks and punish whistleblowers
• What you can do today to help protect children

👉 Please contact your MP.
A simple template letter and guidance on how to find your MP are available via the link in the show notes. It only takes a few minutes and it genuinely makes a difference to how many MPs show up in January.  https://seenheard.org.uk/boarding-on-insanity-parliamentary-screening/  

Thank you for your support, your courage, and your willingness to stand with survivors. Together, we can change this.
