How Parents Can Ensure Schools Follow Sex-Based Safeguarding Laws
Many parents are concerned about how schools address issues of sex, gender, and safeguarding.
Schools have a legal duty to prioritize child welfare, maintain single-sex spaces, and keep parents informed. However, some schools have adopted policies influenced by activist groups that may undermine these protections.
This guide will help you understand your rights, ask important questions, and take action to ensure your child’s school complies with safeguarding laws.
—1.
Know Your Rights as a ParentParents have legal rights regarding their child’s education and well-being. Schools must adhere to:
The Equality Act 2010, which permits single-sex spaces for privacy, safety, and fairness.
The Education Act 1996, which mandates that education must be based on factual information.
Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE), which outlines safeguarding duties for schools.
The UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, which grants parents access to their child’s educational records.
Why This MattersYou have the right to know if your child is being encouraged to question their gender.
Schools must not withhold information from parents, except in cases of a genuine safeguarding risk.
You can challenge school policies that allow boys in girls’ spaces or promote gender identity as fact.
