Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether his Department plans to publish guidance for schools on how to support trans children in 2022; and what contact his Department has had with the Equality and Human Rights Commission on previous plans for that guidance.
The department is continuing to work with others across government and in the sector to understand how we can support schools with these complex and sensitive matters.
My right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Education, has recently written to the Chair of the Equalities and Human Rights Commission to accept her offer of advice and support as we determine our next steps in this area and across other equalities issues for schools.
