The High Court has granted permission for Brook, Endocrine Society and Gendered Intelligence to intervene. 

The voice of trans young people and the voice of the experts who prescribe puberty blockers should have been before the Divisional Court.

By working in unity across children and young people’s organisations, reproductive health organisations and international medical bodies we have climbed the first hurdle. 

Our work continues now to ensure the experience and expertise of each of these sectors is fully represented in the ongoing appeal.

The Court confirmed the next hearing would be scheduled as soon as possible and we were pleased that the urgency of this is appreciated by all parties. The Judge recommends that all parties are ready to go – completely – by the end of April. We will keep you posted with developments. 

Solidarity with you all.

It is only with your support that we can continue to hold Government to account. If you would like to make a donation, you can do so here.
