UK sets rules for primary school gender transitions, requiring parental consent and protecting single-sex facilities.
In February 2026, the UK Department for Education issued new guidance allowing primary school children to socially transition—such as changing names or pronouns—only with parental consent and under strict conditions.
Schools must maintain single-sex facilities, including toilets and changing rooms, for children over eight, and must not initiate transitions.
The guidance, informed by the Cass Review and a Supreme Court ruling, emphasizes safeguarding, privacy, and legal compliance while supporting gender-questioning students with care.
It does not require schools to adopt pronoun changes or allow access to opposite-sex facilities.
A 10-week consultation will follow, with input sought from youth and advocacy groups.
