Today (19 December) the Department for Education has published comprehensive guidance for teachers on how best to support pupils questioning their gender in schools.
This includes requests from pupils for ‘social transition’ which can include requests to change pronouns, names, and uniform.
In response to the complex phenomenon of the increasing number of children questioning their gender, the government has taken the time to carefully and robustly address the challenges and issues involved.
The guidance will assist teachers in ensuring that they are acting in the best interests of children.
