Question
How is the Welsh Government ensuring that schools are complying with the Supreme Court ruling that sex is biological?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Minister for Education and the Welsh Language (Anna Brychan)
The Welsh Government have developed draft guidance for supporting trans learners in schools and this will be taken forward for consultation. It is the intention that the guidance will reflect the current legal position, including that of the Supreme Court judgment, ECHR code of practice and ECHR Technical Guidance for schools in Wales.
Meanwhile, schools have a responsibility to meet their legal duties and should amend their policies accordingly if they believe any are in breach of the law.
