Government to publish new gender guidance for schools

The UK government plans to publish new gender guidance for schools, setting out how educational institutions should handle issues related to gender identity among pupils. The move follows heightened scrutiny of gender-related healthcare and social influences on children, including concerns raised by a UK doctor who led a national review of gender services. The guidance is likely to shape school policies on social transition, parental involvement, and safeguarding, with implications for education, healthcare, and social media regulation debates.
