Keeping Children Safe in Education 2020 edition - can someone point me in the direction of...

[MrsFogi]

I'm in a meeting at the moment and seem to recall that there were some helpful changes this year in relation to trans issues/lobby groups being able to influence in school. If so, can someone quickly point me in the right direction/tell me what they were. (One upside of online meetings is being able to ask questions on mn ). I just want to make sure I highlight them to the meeting in a helpful question.

Great thanks - I had misremembered it as being more the general rules rather than the guidance re RSHE but I will make sure I bring this up anyway. Never miss an opportunity to shine a bright light on the issue !
