Would seriously recommend reading this one. Progress is being made.

From the article:

Appleby’s employment tribunal did not make findings on the rights and wrongs of the treatment, but looked at how others behaved towards her after she blew the whistle about issues of concern.

It heard that Appleby, who is responsible for ensuring safeguarding of children in all the trust’s divisions, was approached by several members of staff in 2016 and 2017 who were concerned that a private GP, Dr Helen Webberley, was “on her own initiative, issuing private prescriptions for puberty-blocking drugs to young people being assessed by GIDS, or who were on the waiting list for assessment”.

Appleby went on to make six protected disclosures between 2017 and 2019, the tribunal heard, including about “challenges” at GIDS with what she described as “rogue medics and the political expectations of the national service”, as well as splits within the team.

She also raised concerns that record-keeping was inadequate and recommended that the trust introduce a manual or policy to assist “clear thinking” about children’s cases and assess whether there was a history of abuse or safeguarding concerns before initiating treatment. In another disclosure, she raised concerns that staff were too overworked to properly consider safeguarding issues.

There was a post here a few months ago with a copy of the investigation report on the Tavistock where it was rated extremely low, I'll try to find it.
