Dear Birmingham Safeguarding Children Board,

I am writing to you to get some information on your Prevent policy, and how it might relate to trans persons and non-binary persons.

Please provide me with the following information:

-Are trans identities considered to be a vulnerability when making assessments of referrals to Channel or Prevent? If so please provide further information.

- Are non-binary identities considered to be a vulnerability when making assessments of referrals to Channel or Prevent? If so please provide further information.

-Do you have policies or guidelines relating to trans or non-binary persons in your Prevent strategy or policy implementation? If so please provide a copy of these policies or guidelines.

-Have any referrals received identified as trans or non-binary? Were these cases recorded according to their chosen identity, or otherwise? If so, please provide statistics where available.

-Do sex-exclusionary Prevent events (eg. women only events) allow trans persons who identify as that sex, or non-binary persons, to attend?

-If no to any or all of the above questions, are policies related to trans or non-binary people and Prevent being developed or discussed?

Thanks

Sam

Yours faithfully,

Sam Andrews
