Activist schools are already threatening to flout new trans guidance warning them to inform parents when children want to switch gender - before it is even published today.
Long-awaited guidance from the Department for Education, to be published later, will call for a 'presumption against' allowing children to change gender at school.
A new 'parents first' approach will advise that in all but the most exceptional cases, they should be informed at the first opportunity if their child asks to be known as having a different gender at school.
Teachers and pupils should not be pressured to adopt a child's chosen pronouns and should not be punished if they get them wrong.
