Dear East Renfrewshire Council,

Reference number 2353-8390-7427-8881
I am requesting the mandatory duties you have as Statutory Powers you are relying on within legislation to Social Transition Children under 16 years of age - please see Education Scotland Link for definition of Social Transition:

https://www.brook.org.uk/your-life/trans...

When someone changes their gender expression and/or social identity, this is called ‘social transitioning’.
