BBC 4 RADIO PROGRAMME – ANTISOCIAL
8 DECEMBER 2023
What should teachers do if a pupil wants to use a name, uniform, toilet or changing room of the opposite sex because they feel it better represents who they are? It’s known as ‘social transitioning’. It’s in the news because the former Prime Minister Liz Truss has proposed a new law that would ban it in schools – re-charging a debate that’s been going on from a while. Social transitioning isn’t the same as having surgery or taking drugs. So what is it? Schools have been crying out for some guidance from the government. We’ll hear what teachers have been doing in the meantime. There are laws that protect pupils and laws that protect teachers. We’ll find out where they sometimes clash.
