Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, when her Department plans to publish its response to the consultation entitled Guidance for Schools and Colleges: Gender Questioning Children which closed on 12 March 2024

The public consultation entitled ‘Guidance for Schools and Colleges: Gender Questioning Children’ received over 15,000 responses.

The government is clear that it is vitally important that teachers have clear guidance, which is why the department will look carefully at the consultation responses over the autumn before responding formally and setting out the next steps to take the Gender Questioning guidance forward.
