Gender is a complex and sensitive issue and the Department engages with a wide range of interested organisations in developing policy in this area, including LGBT+ organisations.

The Department is working closely with the Minister for Women and Equalities to develop guidance for schools and colleges on children questioning their gender. In undertaking a public consultation on the draft guidance prior to publication, the Department will consider a wide range of views.
