WQ.179/2025
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR EDUCATION AND LIFELONG LEARNING
BY DEPUTY M.B. ANDREWS OF ST. HELIER NORTH
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 28th APRIL 2025
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 6th MAY 2025
Question
"Will the Minister advise whether he is considering any changes to the ID Trans Inclusion Guidance (Non- statutory guidance for CYPES including schools and educational settings in Jersey) in light of the launch of the e-petition entitled Revoke trans guidance in schools until parents have been consulted; and if not, why not?"
Answer
I am not currently considering any changes to this guidance following the launch of a petition. It would not be good practice for a Minister to consider making changes based solely on the launch of a petition.
Conversely, it is good practice for Ministers to take a full consideration of matters raised by petitions, and any consideration for change, as and when they pass the relevant thresholds, 1,000 signatures for a Ministerial response, 5,000 signatures to be considered for an in-Committee debate by the States Assembly.
