In Absentia Parentis
How the care system has become captured by Gender Ideology
https://policyexchange.org.uk/publication/in-absentia-parentis/
Vulnerable children in care were 700% more likely to be referred to the now-closed Gender Identity Development Service. These children remain at risk to transition and gender affirmative practice because councils have not put effective safeguarding measures in place, with several consulting activist organisations on their policies.
The report reveals:
- 81 out of 129 (63%) local authorities with care responsibilities could not provide a policy on their safeguarding processes for gender questioning children in care.
- 8 local authorities would allow children in care to transition without consulting any adult.
- 17 councils had been members of a Stonewall scheme in the last 48 months, whilst 12 had paid activist groups such as Mermaids and Gendered Intelligence to provide training.
