Gender Dysphoria Special Interest Group
Building Effective Transgender Policy and Procedures
11th October 2023, 9.30am - 11.30am
Speaker: Dr Clare Ives
This session will consider how to build an effective transgender policy and then translate this into effective procedure. It will draw upon Dr Ives' experience within the education sector as well as her personal experience as a mother of a transgender child. Clare will cover the importance of language when discussing trans issues with those who identify as trans as well as their family and friends, and how to build a supportive, open culture whilst dealing with opposition with respect.

Dr Ives spent eight years working as a civil servant, and then entered teaching in 2008. She was the Head of History and then a housemistress and the EDI lead at Canford School in Dorset and is now the Senior Deputy Head and EDI lead of Sevenoaks School in Kent. She is a passionate advocate for Equity, Inclusion and Diversity which underpins the ability to educate the next generation effectively, and to treat all people with dignity and respect.
I think Child Abuse Review has gone from strength to strength and is of a consistently high standard. We have held numerous events that have been inspiring and enabling, such as the most recent Congresses and the Trainer's conference and award ceremony, the seminars to disseminate lessons from Serious Case Reviews. As resources get ever tighter, professionals have fewer and fewer opportunities to come together to exchange ideas and to learn together. We move more and more into silos because of work pressures. This is not the way to keep children safe. Association of Child Protection Professionals is needed to bring people concerned about child protection together to learn, to think, to shape policy and practice and to disseminate research. No-one else does this.
