Cheating our Children: how our culture betrays the true interests of children and young people – Dr Sharon James who is Social Policy Analyst for The Christian Institute, and author of several books, including ‘Gender Ideology: What do Christians Need to Know?’ which was reviewed by CViE in September 2020

The Evangelical Times published in September 2019 an interview with the Seymours “Thinking the unthinkable: Parents withdraw children from a week of school” which provides an account of their experience at the time.
