"Schools should be mindful to avoid any suggestion that social transition is a simple solution to feelings of distress or discomfort." Schools should also teach about same-sex relationships in a positive way: "We strongly encourage primary schools to teach about healthy loving relationships, and to include same-sex parents along with other family arrangements when discussing families. At secondary school, there should be an equal opportunity to explore the features of stable and healthy same-sex relationships". In primary school: Schools should be sensitive to pupils’ circumstances, recognising that families of many forms provide a nurturing environment for children, and can include single parent families, same-sex parents, families headed by grandparents, young carers, kinship carers, adoptive parents and foster parents/carers. Teaching should illustrate a wide range of family structures in a positive way, and care should be taken to ensure that children are not stigmatised based on their home circumstances." This policy represents standard educational guidance rather than state-enforced censorship, as it explicitly instructs schools to include same-sex parents and relationships in a positive, supportive manner. Instead of banning LGBT+ topics or criminalizing speech, it merely sets pedagogical standards for neutrality on gender identity in state schools. circumstances."
