1. Wow. Just had an email from the school. We’d sent a series of questions- e.g. On which date did our daughter tell her Year Head she wanted to be viewed as a boy at school and what date did YH formally request the systems change/communication to teachers?
- When he formally
- When he formally
communicated this across the school, did he make it clear that we were unaware of the decision?
- Did YH discuss this decision with anyone else in the school before communicating the change - I.e. what internal safeguarding checks did YH use?

- The school had
an equal duty of care to Son. What assessment did YH make re son’s well being? This is bearing in mind that he would be aware that Son has also been living through daughter’s mental health issues and the stresses this comes with. How did he determine it appropriate that Son
