Petition Revoke trans guidance in schools until parents have been fully consulted

The Guidance states that “being LGBTQ+ or exploring their gender identity does not in itself constitute a safeguarding concern, nor is it something the child’s parents or carers must be informed of.” I believe parents should be involved in any discussions on the issue of their child’s gender identity.

Gender Dysphoria affects less than 0.01% of the population (Wikipedia). Exposing children, especially very young children, to these issues could affect their mental health and, I believe, is contrary to the promises made by this Government on putting children first. This guidance also allows books, that parents may consider unsuitable, to be placed in our school libraries and the children's section of the public library. Parents should be fully consulted on these matters.
