While GRCs are not available to individuals under 18, the ruling brings long-standing issues relating to gender-questioning pupils into sharp focus. There is currently a lack of clear and comprehensive guidance on this topic for schools in England. It was broadly in line with the recent Supreme Court judgment insofar as it stated that schools’ legal duties regarding sex should be framed around biological sex. However, neither the guidance nor the judgment fully consider the complex legal issues arising from the scenarios schools regularly deal with. The Supreme Court’s decision does not change the fact that gender reassignment is a protected characteristic under the act.
