Yes, parents have a fundamental right to know about their child's well-being

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...4mos4MO

No, forced outing puts vulnerable children at risk of domestic abuse

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...4mos4MO

No, not without the student's explicit consent

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...4mos4MO

No, schools must remain a safe space for students to explore their identity

Schools should be required to seek external, unbiased advice in how to tell the parents with the child on a case by case basis if it is safe to do so for the child.

 @BDF5GBGanswered…2mos2MO

Yes, unless it would put the child at risk of harm. Parents should be informed about their children so they can support them appropriately and seek help if needed.

 @BDDKTSLanswered…2mos2MO

Split opinion. School should protect the child firstly but not affect or hide the child’s gender questioning from parents. Probably best on a case by case basis

 @BCGT68K answered…3mos3MO

No, not if it's just questioning, but if it involves giving the child puberty blockers and hormone therapy, then the parents should be informed, unless the teachers have safeguarding concerns, regarding the child's domestic situation

 @BC4PK74answered…3mos3MO

Yes but make sure to keep an eye out if any abuse is occurring. This isn't a one size fits all situation

 @BBCP4MDanswered…4mos4MO

No since there is a chance of domestic abuse however the school should remain neutral and if thex want any surgery then you must tell the parent

 @BF22TLRanswered…1wk1W

No, "questioning" is way too mild to have a legal duty to inform anyone. Instead of making schools gender police, just inform parents of how their kids are doing at parents evenings in a normal way.

There should be flexibility to apply the best approach for a given situation

 @BDPLX8Sanswered…1mo1MO

Yes, but only if an assessment has been made that it would be safe to tell the child's parents. The parents have a right to know, but the child also has a right to be protected from any abuse that could arise as a result of a parent knowing.

Gender identity for kids is very wrong brush it off and let them wait til 18

 @BCWFLTRanswered…2mos2MO

No, they should receive therapy to find out where the gender-dysphoria originates from and support the student appropriately to make sure peer-pressure and attention seeking have been ruled out first. Once it is determined to be genuine, then help the student tell their parents themselves, not do it for them.

 @BCRH9QSanswered…2mos2MO

Yes, but only if there is no perceived risk of harm. If there are concerns, social services should be notified.

 @BCQKTRYanswered…3mos3MO

No, take Gender Identity politics out of schools. Teachers and schools MUST be impartial.

 @BCMW9X6answered…3mos3MO

Yes, schools should not be influencing nor should they be teaching “gender identity”

 @BCMC4L8answered…3mos3MO

No they shouldn’t in case it puts the child at risk of harm, however they should stay objective and neither encourage nor discourage
