NSPCC rejects plan for 'mandatory reporting' of suspected child abuse
The government’s consultation on reporting and acting on child abuse and neglect was launched amid concerns about past abuse in some of the country’s major institutions. High-profile inquiries, such as that into the paedophile Jimmy Savile, revealed how many people suspected abuse but failed to report their fears.
Under the new proposal teachers, doctors and other employees in regulated professions who work with children would be legally obliged to report suspicions that a child was being abused. However, the plan has been rejected by the NSPCC.

The article goes on to explain that submissions to the government's consultation regarding mandatory reporting reveal:
AGAINST Mandatory Reporting
FOR Mandatory Reporting

The newspaper article linked to in the OP was based around an interview with Lawrence Hughes.
The picture posted in the OP, from that newspaper article, is described as being of his daughter's funeral. Bethany.
Lawrence Hughes has posted in the forum - for exampe:

the brief outline for this item makes reference to the most recent wt on the subject of "reaching out" (august 2016 - pages 20 - 29) if you are a jehovah's witness and thinking about becoming a ministerial servant or elder, then please consider the following information prior to attending the kh for this week’s wt “study” and the week after.
first - if you hope to become an elder, in the uk you will also become a charitable trustee.
you will not be given any training for this part of your role.
Hi zeb!
"These Jehovah witness elders are shown themselves to be woefully ignorant of standard practices in the real world, seriously unprepared for the hearings, completely lacking in compassion for the victim and untrained to be real shepherds and all have consistently poor memories."
Australian Royal Commission.all the ARC stuff is online isn't it, I've looked, but can't find the above quote - where did you find it?
Was it said by the ARC Chair, or in one of the submissions / statements made at the ARC, rather than by the ARC?
I'm not disagreeing with the quote, just wondering with how it's presented
TIA
Any update on where the quote is from that you gave above?
All the ARC stuff is online - transcripts, submissions etc - so can you give a link please
TIA
Hi freddo
ignoring the post 9/11 fall-out, it's interesting to see be reminded of some of the apparent reasoning for not moving previously.
Of course what's changed now is that they'll need a much smaller footprint - but the move was to Essex was all in place before the major downsizing - as can be seen comparing the original Essex scheme with the current one.

It was when I had 14-15 years. It is a sexual molestation.
Well, unfortunately, your account appears to have changed then - the article in El Periodico clearly just stated '16' - it was an article you evidently helped in writing and one that you commented on here freely, without taking issue with the '16' bit - in fact I believe this is the first time ver here you've even mentioned being 14 / 15

Do you know who Ronnie Winslow was?
according to german april issue of our kingdom ministry, the watchtower logo must be removed from all kingdom halls:.
it sais that the watchtower logo - a stylised watchtower or a watchtower with a bible - is used by the watchtower society.
thus, it should not be used by congregations or private persons, neither on kingdom halls, stationary or anything else.
Hi Simon

by 'minor' you mean under 18? ie aged 16? rather than actualy under the 'age-of-consent' which I understand is 16 from 2015 (but was 13 from 1999, raised from age 12 previously?)
