Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, with which organisations (a) she and (b) her officials have held discussions on the preparation of guidance on transgender pupils in schools.

The Department engages with external bodies on a regular basis and a number of these conversations have related to the guidance the Department is developing for schools and colleges on gender questioning children. The Department will be undertaking a full public consultation on the draft guidance prior to finalisation, and will continue to engage with a range of stakeholders throughout this process.
