Transgender guidance for schools, published this December, does not require teachers or pupils to address a child, who wants to change gender, by their preferred pronoun.
As the guidance was being drafted, The Times said children would be able to socially transition with parental consent, but only in limited circumstances; and teachers would not be forced to use a child’s chosen pronoun if they have a ‘good faith’ exception.
This has now been confirmed, with Minister for Women and Equalities Kemi Badenoch adding that the guidance makes it clear ‘schools do not have to accept a child's request to socially transition’.
