We are committed to the protected belief that biological sex is binary and immutable; that sex matters in everyday lives, including rights and needs in schools; and that sex must not be conflated with, or replaced by, the contested concepts of gender or gender identity. 2/8

We are looking forward to this updated RSE guidance. Gender Ideology is very much a contested belief and should never be taught as fact.
RSE guidance due on Thursday will make clear that gender ideology - that people can be born the wrong sex - must be taught as a “contested belief” not as fact.

Boys and girls should not be sharing toilet facilities. SEEN in Schools wants to protect the rights of girls and boys to have the privacy, dignity and, crucially for girls especially, safety of single-sex toilets.
#KeepToiletsSingleSex
This was entirely foreseeable and preventable. A Sunday Times investigation in 2028 found 88% of sexual offences committed in changing rooms and public bathrooms take place in those that are unisex. 1/2

This should not be in any schools. It is unscientific, ideologically biased and suggests to children that there is no biological basis to the categories of male and female.
This is one of the slides shown to my kids today at school. Absolutely FASCINATED to know what 'Another Sex' is...I will be asking the teachers tomorrow. 😡😡😡

Schools should take heed of the flag-flying rules this month: the traditional rainbow pride flag 🏳️🌈 is automatically allowed, but the 'Progress Pride' flag requires permission.
As we enter June, many local authorities will put up flags on council offices and other buildings to celebrate Pride. The classic Pride rainbow 🏳️🌈 seems to have fallen out of fashion with many public authorities, and instead we’ve seen a proliferation of “Progress Pride” flags

“We had received two expert opinions, including from a specialist in gender, not to challenge our child but that adults should basically turn a blind eye, and not affirm her. But these experts were repeatedly dismissed by teachers.”

Exactly this: schools should be impartial and the 'Progress Pride' represents a contested set of beliefs that conflates LGB and gender identity. Start asking questions. Are sex-based rights respected?
@SEENinSchools
There will be lots of schools doing this.
It's an opportunity for parents to ask them if they understand the difference between LGB and gender identity. Many schools will have no idea that they are advocating for men in women's sports and experimental medication for children.

want all schools to be aware that social transitioning is not a neutral act: it needs medical oversight that school staff do not have. And we want all school staff to feel able to ask questions around school policies that relate to sex/gender.

"Schools and councils using the toolkit are very likely to be in breach of equality and human rights legislation"
All schools should review the external providers and guides used to ensure they comply with equality law.

As a teacher, I'm very worried that schools have been encouraged to use resources which could be breaking the law.
It's vital to do due diligence when approaching these sensitive issues.

Gender questioning children need a cautious approach to safeguarding that recognises the impact of social transitioning. KCSIE refers to the 'unknowns' of ST but Cass spoke of ST not being a neutral act. Safeguarding leads must take note and amend policies/practices accordingly.
