What would the DfE schools' guidance and policy look like under a Labour government?

There's a Labour government in charge of education in Wales, so I'd suggest that's a good reference point to start with?

Of course, as parents in Wales no longer have the right to either see RSE materials or withdraw their children from RSE lessons, it's hard to find out what's actually being taught. But you can Google things like "Welsh Government LGBT action plan".

It's an interesting question as a lot of the power rests with civil servants who often "mediate" between what politicians want politically and what is legally allowable? Which is why the capture of civil servants by trans extremism is such a problem. It shouldn't have happened (Nolan Principles of public life) but that's been ignored.
So now we see Tory politicians furious as the civil servants in the NHS, even frighteningly the armed forces, beclown themselves via trans ideology instead of meeting the needs of society. Until trans extremism is prised out of the civil service will much change?

The last Labour government had a range of interventionist policies for schools including the "National Strategy" that informed teaching about numeracy, literacy, behaviour etc. It was heavily government funded with local authorities well resourced to implement it.
When the Conservatives arrived in 2010 boasting of "freeing schools up from red tape" they literally binned everything - from the national strategies to guidance on things like exclusions. All this needed to be rewritten, much if it initially so brief as to be useless.
They then outsourced giving "advice" to schools with civil servants pouring funding into organisations like Stonewall who were then able to sell their "born in the wrong body" fantasies to children.
We know Stonewall have been cosying up to the government and it would be naive to assume that the other trans lobby groups are not doing the same.
I'm torn between being cautiously hopeful that Labour have actually read Cass and realised the dreadful harm that's been unleashed on children. But, given Starmer's previous weakness having been sucked in to the fantasy about woman with a penis, along with his lack of courage in stopping the bullying of women calling this out in the party, I have yet to be persuaded that he has the integrity to prioritise the safety of children over his tangled personal feelings / influences.
The demise of LA's influence over schools will make it much harder for Labour to exercise direct influence over schools. Sadly, given the Guardian / BBC echo chamber so many of them live in, I'm not convinced they understand that children being taught their bodies are wrong but can be fixed with a sex change is even a problem?

I think we need a public inquiry in order to keep whoever is next, on alert that the issue of regulatory capture is serious and is not magically going away because of Cass.

The safety and welfare of children has been allowed to give way to adult agendas and so many organisations that the next government will have to work with, have been a part of that. Be it actual acts or by silent complicity.

SSUK has a template letter but as always, it's better if you can give examples of where this has affected you and your children, when writing.

No idea if effective but if your MP is captured, perhaps also copy to Kemi? Or one of the peers who has seen through all this?

Peers I can think of: Baronesses Nicholson and Fox, Lord Young. I know there are others too

Sorry I can't seem to get a shorter link!

I'm assuming Bridget Phillipson is likely to be appointed Secretary of State for Education. She seems to have managed to keep her head below the parapet on this issue but I believe she did welcome the publication of new guidance for schools a few months ago?

That's all I know but, if I were forced into making a prediction, it would be that she's likely to follow whichever way she thinks the wind is blowing.

New centralised curriculum

Well, I do agree that education is in a mess due to what Ryan describes.

The tories have just realised that they fucked up and are currently ploughing silly money into exemplary lessons for the whole curriculum. In case of future national school lockdown but also so that there is some control over what's taught. (Oak national academy.) it's a private company but with masses of dfe funding.

Labour would be silly to shelve that actually and may well jump on that bandwagon.

However, the guidance for gender questioning children could become statutory as Cass cities some aspects that really are part of safeguarding. Certainly some key points now have enough evidence to be included in kcsie. Which is statutory. Labour would struggle to change that in the absence of other evidence.

Also, what little the Labour schools and education ministers have said about Cass has been positive.

The dfe have very stupidly released a consultation on kcsie which I feel is ridiculous; safeguarding relies on evidence rather than crowd sourcing and their opening statement is "safeguarding is one of the most important aspects of education."

No it's THE most important ffs!

(So will be using the consultation to tell them that )

No, they aren't .
I'm saying I hope Labour go back to a centralised model as the decentralised model allowed some of the current issues to manifest. I think they will and I think that will be better for parents and children.

Posts about the Tories are a complete derail.

The OP is asking what the DfE schools' guidance and policy would look like under a Labour government.

This could be a factor that enabled Stonewall to get so much influence too

Worst case is a copy and paste of this:

Total erasure of sex and material reality as a starting point. From there, you're basically just fucked.

I think a huge part of the issue we have now was caused by Cameron's "big society" idea, the removal of local education authorities and devolvement of decisions on appropriate teaching materials and providers to individual trusts.

This allowed schools to start using charities for some aspects of teaching, including LGBTQ charities. I don't think all the teachers procuring the training were necessary able to join the dots on the possible dangers in the way a more centralised function would.

It also allowed people like Ruth Miskin to get extremely rich milking the schools for her phonics programme.

I don't know what Labour's policy is on this but I hope they centralise and standardise content and providers more. This will also have an added benefit of making it clear to parents who is responsible if they aren't happy with material being taught.
