Public consultation on conversion therapy

[everythingthelighttouches]

The government have announced a new consultation before implementing a ban on conversion therapy that attempts to change someone’s sexual orientation or gender identity.

Does anyone know:
a) what is considered conversion therapy? Are there good and clear definitions? Would it include a safe space for professionals to apply a watch and wait approach, rather than no questions asked affirmation in children?

b) who is being consulted? If it is the public will a gender critical group provide us with a standard form we can all use?

There's an article by Nikki Da Costa on this subject in the Telegraph today 7th December : 'Don’t rush the ban on ‘conversion therapy’
With such complex issues at stake, the Government needs to slow down and think about the potential consequences of this legislation'
