Question to the Department for Education:

To ask His Majesty's Government when they plan to respond to the consultation on the draft guidance for schools and colleges on gender-questioning children, published in December 2023.

Children’s wellbeing must be at the heart of the Gender Questioning guidance for schools.

It is vitally important that teachers have clear guidance, which is why the department is looking carefully at the consultation responses before setting out next steps to take the Gender Questioning guidance forward. The department will also consider this in light of the evidence published in the Cass Review. This will include consideration of the appropriate guidance to give on the use of pronouns in school settings.
