Rishi Sunak’s administration is proceeding with “extreme caution” as it devises guidance for how schools should deal with children who want to change their assigned gender identity at school, the UK prime minister’s spokesman said.
“This guidance will provide clarity so that parents have control, that children are kept safe and that teachers have the appropriate information they need,” Max Blain told reporters on Thursday. He said no decisions have yet been taken on final rules.
Sunak “has talked about this before,” Blain said. “The wellbeing and safety of the children is his top priority.” He went on to say that “any degree of social transition has significant consequences for a child” and that the premier wants to ensure safeguards are in place. When published, the guidance, which will be advisory rather than a legal requirement, is expected to tell teachers to inform parents if their children are questioning their gender at school.
