I am engaging with a wide range of stakeholders who hold different views in relation to conversion practices, as are officials. We continue to consult extensively with stakeholders across the spectrum including victims, representatives from a range of religions, LGBT groups, clinicians, medical regulatory professionals, and parent groups. Our public consultation will close on 4th February and I urge all those with an interest to respond. In this way and with our wider engagement with the full range of stakeholders, victims and members of the public, we will ensure the ban is effective in ending different forms of conversion therapy.
