Extract from booklet:
Thank you to all of the young people that identify as Trans* or are Gender non-conforming, their parents, carers and guardians that contributed to the initial creation and inspired this revised edition.
Cornwall Schools Transgender Guidance was written in collaboration with Cornwall Council, The Intercom Trust, Devon & Cornwall Police and head teachers in 2012. It was the first of its kind within the UK to be incorporated into schools and colleges, specifically aimed at supporting Trans pupils and students.
It was; and remains; a pioneering piece of partnership working showing that Cornwall can be at the forefront of making improvements in understanding and supporting pupils and students that identify as Trans succeed in education.
Cornwall Council, The Intercom Trust and Devon & Cornwall Police are extremely proud to have been involved in this document. We jointly support and endorse it to encourage schools and colleges to hold the guidance as best practice in the support of fair and equal education for all pupils & students in education across the country.
Following the success of the original document, having been used nationally to support many young people being recommended by and available on the Dept for Education website, we are pleased to have revised and updated the guidance to reflect on the successes, include new topics and incorporate the voices and experiences of young people this guidance was designed to help and support.
