A new policy guide for New Zealand schools, titled ‘Students and Social Transition: A Gender Identity Policy Guide’, has been emailed to schools across the country today.

It was created by Ethos, a charity that supports people with questions about freedom of conscience and belief.

Ethos had been contacted by a number of parents and schools with questions about the best way to help children experiencing gender identity questions.

The guide advocates for schools to follow a ‘watchful waiting’ policy which is now best practice in countries like Sweden, Finland, and England.

Ethos CEO Alex Penk told Kerre Woodham that it’s important to have a holistic approach like this, that can provide support to a child that is in their best interests and fits within the school’s legal responsibilities.
