Summary
British Naturism's nude family swim at Sandcastle Water Park in Blackpool was protested by clothed individuals who expressed concern over child safety, to which British Naturism responded with their child safeguarding policy and advocated for anti-naturist abuse to be classified as a hate crime. The head of British Naturism argued that naturism should be protected by the Equalities Act and that nudists still face abuse based on their lifestyle choice, despite there being no actual law against nudity in the UK.
