Anne Health -- a non-for-profit gender-affirming healthcare company, co-founded by ex-Mermaids CEO Susie Green -- has created a guide entitled:

Families of Trans Children Are Being Reported to Social Services: What to Do If It Happens to You

We highly recommend reading the entire article, but if you want some of the key takeaways, here are some key takeaways they've created on a social media post elsewhere:

  • Don't panic, it's not a crime.
    Supporting your child with gender-affirming care (even private or international) is lawful. NHS guidance is not legally binding.

  • Ask for everything in writing.You're entitled to request all notes, communications, and records related to any referral or investigation.
  • Cooperate reasonably, but know your rights.You can provide evidence and be transparent, but you're not obligated to comply with disproportionate or biased enquiries.
  • Read the legal guide from Good Law Project.
    It confirms: social workers must act proportionately, puberty blockers do not meet the legal threshold for harm, and informed parental care is respected by courts.

  • Remember your rights — and that you're not alone.
    In every supported case so far, social services took no further action. Legal care decisions made by loving parents are not abuse.

  • This is the Good Law Project legal guide they link to:

    Learning that my hometown high school is now *worse* for queer kids compared to 15 years ago was devastating.

    I'm outraged and ready to become a mama bear.

    I'm neurospicy, I'm depressed, I'm anxious, but I'm also absolutely dedicated to protecting LGBTQIA+ youth.
