Remove guidance on schools telling parents about gender questioning children

Closed 73 signatures

What the petition asks

The draft guidance would mean that schools have to tell parents, except in rare circumstances, about children's gender identity, which could put them in danger.
It could also limit social transition which could exacerbate or cause mental health issues. We think that if schools and colleges follow this guidance, it would cause a lot of harm.
