The NSPCC’s gender guidance is “confused” and potentially putting children at risk by encouraging them to use opposite-sex changing rooms, a charity has warned.

The child protection organisation’s unit for keeping children safe in sport “actively encourages” organisations to put children in harm’s way, the campaign group Sex Matters has claimed.

The group has written the Department for Education (DfE) urging them to force the NSPCC to alter its stance

It follows several scandals over the NSPCC’s approach to trans ideology over recent years.

Good that the Telegraph has picked up on this and amplified the work of Sex Matters.

No, gender identity is not a protected characteristic and therefore the NSPCC's advice is not in line with the law.

Operation "Let Them Speak" never fails.

Thank you, Maya.

A spokesman for the NSPCC said: “The NSPCC is committed to protecting and supporting all children, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
“These are protected characteristics under the <a class="break-all" href="https://archive.is/o/NSLGp/www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2024/09/08/labour-wont-close-biological-sex-loophole-in-equality-act/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Equality Actt and all our policies, advice and guidance are in line with the protections afforded by law, in addition to the guidance issued by the NHS.”^

No, gender identity is not a protected characteristic and therefore the NSPCC's advice is not in line with the law.

Sport and activity providers should consider how to support these young people to feel comfortable using the correct changing room for their sex.
