We'll take time to get trans guidance right, says minister
Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson emphasizes the importance of careful consideration for trans guidance regarding single-sex spaces, ensuring dignity and respect for all individuals. The updated code of practice, overseen by the Equality and Human Rights Commission, addresses access concerns for transgender individuals while upholding the legal definition of sex. Implementation of the new guidance awaits approval by ministers and parliamentary procedures, aiming to strike a balance between inclusivity and legal considerations in single-sex facilities.
