Displayed in Parliament, each patch on this quilt depicts the pain of losing a grandchild to estrangement.Tomorrow, we will be launching the campaign to ensure all grandchildren have access to safe loving relationships with grandparents.Children have rights to all family members.

On route to Houses of Parliament to launch campaign for millions of grandchildren. This is about a child’s right to continue a loving & safe relationships. 2 million grandparents are removed from safe loving relationships with grandchildren. Today is another step towards change.

Put us first, survivors tell Archbishops’ Council after Professor Jay’s appointment churchtimes.co.uk/articles/2…

Deeply sad to hear this news. George was a wonderful man, committed to sharing news of those rarely given platforms. He unexpectedly sent me his book in post, ‘A Home from Home’ which he signed thanking me for my work. Taking such time really moved me.🙏🏽 bbc.com/news/entertainment-a…

Church Times: Interesting article '‘Archbishop Welby undermined me’ — Meg Munn quits as Church’s safeguarding chair' churchtimes.co.uk/236062 - Correction, we did not ever refuse to work with Meg Munn & she always had the full support of Archbishop’s Council, we didn’t.

I've experienced Meg AND Jasvinder & Steve.
Their approaches are different.
Meg believes in 'it's happened, get over it & blocking' school of thought.
Jasvinder & Steve are into finding the truth, looking for accountability and acting to care & protect: 24/7
Which one is better?

We have since raised our concerns on behalf of survivors and 76 request of not willing to share data specifically with Meg. The fact that all believed she had a conflict of interest and this could undermine our independence. No one listened or sought to assure survivors.
J Bate retweeted
At our first meeting with Meg Munn, she undermined us both @SteveReevesUK, negating our work, then telling us there were going to be changes & we could stay or leave. We requested a joint meeting with the General Secretary ever since to discuss how we intend to work together.

Has anyone from the #ArchbishopsCouncil resigned yet? Seeing some of them lauding it around social media & justifying themselves is appalling. Protecting themselves, not survivors. The council must be dissolved, an independent investigation take place & relevant dismissals happen
J Bate retweeted
After all the time they spent insisting to survivors and the ISB that she was the ONLY one to fit the role despite how obviously unfit for the role she was now she's gone?! This is INSANE

Well, if @MegMunn01 had stood down earlier, we would not be where we are. @Jas_Sanghera_KN and @SteveReevesUK would still be in post and we would have a functional ISB. Does no one on see the damage this is doing to victims and survivors ?
There was easy solution: for @MegMunn01 to stand down. @Jas_Sanghera_KN and @SteveReevesUK would still be in post, ideas for Phase 2 would be out for consultation, victim group would have been formed, and the Independent Safeguarding Board would be…er…independent @JustinWelby

Please take a look at this amazing representation of the LOUDFence at #GeneralSynod - I’ve placed my order.

Just been sent this on Facebook. I’m astonished, one member was abusive at AC meeting? AC felt traumatised? Really? News to me, please be transparent, share the minutes or would you like me to share a recording? Why don’t you ask survivor present, what you share is not true.

Extraordinary scenes at Synod as sacked ISB members are given a hearing - not the way @Jas_Sanghera_KN and I expected the day to end, but grateful for the opportunity to speak to #Synod churchtimes.co.uk/articles/2…
J Bate retweeted
@SteveReevesUK I feel like standing up and shouting, please let us speak. Why have we not been invited to share our truths? This is unequal, unfair and a demonstration of an abuse of power. We will keep speaking in the only spaces we are able.
J Bate retweeted
Jesus would be proud of Jas and Steve and the way #Synod got them to the podium.
The Archbishops' Council should say sorry and reinstate them quickly.
@ReshapersCIC you spoke up powerfully for us too. Thank you.
@Jas_Sanghera_KN @SteveReevesUK @synodnews @churchofengland
J Bate retweeted
#CofE please give a standing ovation to @Jas_Sanghera_KN and @stevereevesuk. If we had a platform to speak, we would not be spreading our hurt on social media.

Sharing with permission part of email I received from one of the survivors.@churchofengland How are you assured that survivors will not have to re-tell their experiences again? It took us time to build trust with those harmed by the Church, how will this be rebuilt?
