Stonewall champion School (primary)

[Amoregentlemanlikemanner]

I have realised that our local primary is a Stonewall Champion School after seeing the school letterhead..
I would be very grateful for any information (beyond what is on the website) about the content of their training course so I can decide whether to raise this.

I have few concerns about the teachers who are a wise quiet bunch. I am concerned that parents of a dysphoric child may become estranged from the school. I also note with concern references to the Equalities Act.

'Children’s Rights Impact Assessment' by Women & Girls in Scotland is thorough.

(extract)
We identified the document Supporting Transgender Young People: Guidance for Schools in Scotland as one such proposal that merited review. We have assessed this proposal using a children’s rights-based approach, with an impact assessment model developed by the Children and Young People’s Commissioner Scotland. This
model was developed to offer policy and decision makers a tool to help them “fulfil their responsibilities to respect the rights of children and young people set out in national and international law”.1
We are currently waiting for a formal response from the CYPCS in relation to our Children’s Rights Impact Assessment. This version has been submitted to the CYPCS; we have removed the few sections where we did not make a submission.
We may update this Children’s Rights Impact Assessment once we have heard back from the CYPCS, at which time we will also issue our assessment as a report that we will then move to share with schools, local authorities and other stakeholders.
