if you work in education you *must* ignore this forthcoming guidance, if not morally than let me explain why you should ignore it *legally*:

this is NON-STATUTORY GUIDANCE. it is trumped by statutory guidance (e.g. KCSiE, which still specifically mentions discrimination based on gender reassignment in the 2023 update) which is in turn trumped by law (equality act 2010, children's act 1989)

any adult working with children & yp is morally and legally obliged to ignore this guidance as it is so clear-cut that outing children to their parents would pose significant risk of harm to the child (violates Children's Act 1989, KCSiE and Working Together 2018). it so clearly contradicts the existing statutory guidance, and you will be protected *by law* if you ignore it

i realise this doesn't actually help with what to proactively do if a child comes out to you as trans or gender non-conforming

might actually write some alternative guidance on how to respond to the child, how to keep the child safe, how to keep yourself safe etc.
