I'm the welfare Officer for my kids sports club and we have been asked to discuss trans inclusion and how we write a policy. Our governing body has some material but when I last looked it had been taken down for revision. My first thought was ' I'll resign if I have collude with women and girls being erased in our sport' but my second one was I need to work with people to help them understand the issues. There are no trans people in the club so far. It's triathlon so pretty easy to see what sex everyone is! Any tips on how to tackle this sensitively? I'm going to ask the governing body for their guidance.

Anyone who is trans is welcome to join. They should compete according to their sex. They should use the changing facilities appropriate for their sex or request a private space if that would suit them better.

The exceptions for single-sex space and single-sex sports should refer to the appropriate parts of the Equality Act 2010.
