This Government is committed to banning conversion therapy practices regardless of the setting in which they are carried out. Our primary concern is to ensure that people are protected from harmful practices that do not work and can cause long lasting damage. We are analysing the responses to the consultation which closed on 4 February and remain committed to preparing legislation for Spring, to be introduced when Parliamentary time allows.
