Please provide:

1) Gender reassignment and/or transgender guidance and policies relating to staff

Dear Ermine

 

The Department dealing with your request have confirmed we do not have a
policy as such, there is guidance which we are compliant with, but not a
policy specifically.

 

I hope this helps
