School transgender policy is delayed

Kemi Badenoch

Government guidance on transgender policies in England schools has been delayed, despite it being promised before the start of the school summer holiday.

However, the equalities minister recently indicated that the guidance will require teachers to inform parents if a child questions their gender. Speaking on the BBC’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg on 16 July, Kemi Badenoch said the guidance will ensure parents know what is ‘going on with their children’ in school.

She said: ‘We are producing guidance for schools to know how to deal with children who are experiencing gender distress.’
