Good afternoon Theodore,

Please see the response to your request below which we have decided to respond to as business as usual:

1. Please confirm if you hold this document entitled 'Guidance for school staff working with transgender and gender questioning young people.' which is available on your website here: https://www.barnsley.gov.uk/media/15892/....

The 'guidance' was written by a member of the Educational Psychology Service.

2. If so, please could you confirm this is document is:
a) still active guidance
b) the most up-to-date version

We are currently reviewing this document as it hasn't been refreshed for a while. We will remove the document from the website until the content has been reviewed.

3. If this is not either up-to-date or active guidance, please provide a copy of any active guidance for school staff working with transgender and gender questioning young people.

We can only comment on the document in question.

Kind regards,

Information Requests Team, Barnsley MBC
