Trans Allyship

This session will share Matthew's experiences of parenting two, now adult, transgender children, as well as his insights into transinclusive school leaderships, both from his own time as an international school Principal and from his work on transinclusivity with schools across the world as a consultant in recent years. He will argue that it has never been more critical to get this right, with a new Section 28, in all but name, knocking darkly on our doors.
