Isabel Oakeshott Reacts To New Trans Guidelines For Schools

The Department for Education has published its long-awaited draft guidance for schools and colleges on how best to support pupils questioning their gender, after it was delayed from the summer.

The non-statutory guidance says “parents should not be excluded” from decisions taken by a school or college relating to requests for a child to “socially transition”, such as wishes to change names, pronouns and clothing.

But in an early indication of unease on the Tory right about the measures, former prime minister Liz Truss said the guidance “does not go far enough”.

Some Conservative MPs and campaigners have called for an outright ban on social transitioning by children in schools.

The Talk panel Kevin O’Sullivan, James Max, Isabel Oakeshott, Ian Collins and Afua Hagan discuss the story.
