This briefing was provided to aid members pending the anticipated publication of guidance by the Department for Education (DfE). On 19 December 2023, the DfE released a consultation on draft non-statutory guidance on gender-questioning children, which NAHT has responded to. You can read a summary of the draft guidance for school leaders and find out more about our response to the consultation here.
While leaders, governors and trustees may wish to review the DfE’s draft guidance when considering any approaches, it is important to underline that you do not need to change your current policies at this stage.
Once the DfE's guidance has been finalised, we will review this joint guidance accordingly. Until then we have retained this as an additional reference for members who are considering their approaches.
