It seems to us – and to those inside the NHS who have leaked the document to us – that what purports to be an “assessment” in fact an exercise in bringing very significant pressure to bear on trans youth and their families to cease private treatment, backed up with a threat of a safeguarding referral to social services if they do not.

We are concerned about what appears to be a misleading exercise in gathering data on which trans youth are obtaining private treatment from abroad, for the purposes of seeking to cause or compel them to stop treatment.

Good Law Project is taking urgent advice from a specialist King’s Counsel and solicitors. We do not know whether it will be possible to take legal action. In the meantime, we suggest that families receiving these emails think very carefully about whether they participate in an exercise that is not fairly described.
