The long-awaited final report of the Cass Review was published in April. The near 400-page report provides an in-depth review of gender identity services for children and young people in England. The comprehensive review covers contextual factors and vulnerabilities, the clinical care received by children as well as views on hormone treatments and proposals for future care. This webinar will provide an in-depth summary of the findings as well as responses to the review, and an opportunity to consider the implications for schools and the young people in their care.
