NHS England has launched a consultation running from 20 October to 4 December on how the future youth gender services should run in the new clinics opening in Spring 2023.  

We have significant concerns about these proposals, which you can read about in our explainer blog, and in collaboration with Stonewall, Gendered Intelligence and Trans Learning Partnership, have now published guidance to help with your response.

The guidance takes you through the questions as they are on the response form, with key issues you may wish to raise in bullet points. We’ve also highlighted relevant research, as well as differences between this new specification and the previous specification where useful.

You can respond to the consultation via an online survey on the NHS England website any time before 4 December 2022.

Guidance for consultation responses: Interim service specification for specialist gender dysphoria services for children and young people in England (Phase 1 services)

Already completed the consultation? Great! Let us know you’ve done so by completing this form.
