Government to put out transgender guidance for Schools later this year.

Not sure if this has been shared already. It's the latest response to the petition. Had a look but couldn't see it. Apparently there will be a public consultation before it's sent out. But how many people will see that and be aware of it? They are also making it clear that schools need to share pshe materials if parents ask.

This response was given on 31 January 2023
We are developing transgender guidance for schools to be published later this year. We will consider, in parallel, whether changes need to be made to the RSHE guidance to align with the new guidance.
Read the response in full
The Department for Education believes that all children should be supported whilst growing up. Our schools and teachers are committed to helping all pupils to succeed and reach their potential in a safe and respectful environment.
To prepare children for life in modern Britain, pupils need to understand the world in which they are growing up. RSHE is therefore designed to give pupils the knowledge they need to lead happy, safe, and healthy lives and to foster respect for other people and for difference.
We recognise that issues relating to sex and gender can be complex and sensitive for schools to navigate, which is why we are developing guidance for schools. It is important that we are able to consider a wide range of views, so we will undertake a public consultation on the draft guidance prior to publication.
We are also aware that some parents are concerned about what content their children are being taught regarding these issues, and we are planning to write to schools shortly to schools to be clear that we expect them to respond positively to all reasonable requests from parents to see curriculum materials. The letter will also clarify what the law allows them to share, including that schools can allow parents to view resources in person, rather than electronically.
We will consider whether changes need to be made to the RSHE guidance to ensure it aligns with this new transgender guidance and will consult on any proposed amendments in parallel with the transgender guidance.

I do hope they now align with the new Trans Women Are Not Women.

as per Nicola Sturgeon and the fiasco in Scotland.

This petition has more than double what is required for a parliamentary debate. It asks to remove LGBT teaching in schools (though I think it's more about the T than the LGB).

The counter petition has 86k currently (and the one to reverse the blocking of the GRR is at 27k, enough for a response).

It's undeniable that there is strong public feeling on this now, and where we were told there is no debate to be had, I don't think there has been more debate on anything else, except maybe Brexit.
