THE GUARDIAN: Kemi Badenoch says guidance will ensure parents know what is ‘going on with their children’ at school
Teachers will be forced to tell parents that their child is questioning their gender even if the young person objects under new guidance for schools in England, the equalities minister has indicated.
Kemi Badenoch said that the guidance, which is expected to be published this week, will ensure that parents know what is “going on with their children” at school.
Under the new plans, headteachers are expected to be told that parents must always be consulted if a child wants to be called another name, or wear a different uniform. It has also been suggested that schools will not be able to use the child’s new preferred pronouns until parents give their consent.
The guidance advises teachers that any pupil who wants to self-identify as a different gender should first undergo a period of reflection, according to reports. » | Pippa Crerar, Political editor | Monday, July 17, 2023
