What is the Government's new transgender guidance and what does it mean for schools and parents?

The UK government plans to embed cautious gender identity guidance in schools, requiring parental involvement and maintaining single-sex spaces based on biological sex.

  • A review of gender care services for under-18s was commissioned by NHS England in 2024 due to increased referrals from patients questioning their gender.
  • The guidance states there are 'no exceptions' for single-sex facilities in schools, protecting areas like toilets and sports.
  • The guidance emphasizes the difference between a child's wishes and their best interests regarding gender identity.
  • Baroness Cass described the guidance as providing clarity for schools and noted that social transition for young children should be exceptional.
