I have not finished speaking, in fact, Chair. In the minutes available, I will read this quote from a parent involved in a Safe on Social group. She said: 'What I've seen in the past 12 months alone has made it impossible for me to remain on the sidelines. For every mother sobbing on the phone or emailing me because her child has been humiliated or manipulated, there's another parent in despair because they don't know how to stop the chaos. I can no longer ignore that what we've been doing simply isn't working. Education alone is not enough.'
