Cass Review: why are children uncomfortable with their sex?
by Carys Moseley, Christian Concern:
The much-publicised Cass Review of gender identity services for children and young people has produced a great deal of research to gain a better picture of the field.
In a short series of articles, I shall attempt to show some of the more significant findings as part of a series assessing the value of the Cass Review.
The aims of the Cass Review
Dame Hilary Cass says her review aims to make recommendations to ensure high standards of care for children with gender dysphoria, or who are ‘questioning their gender identity’.
The review tried to understand the growth in referrals of children, particularly girls, to the GIDS. Research conducted for the review aims to show how these children should be treated by the NHS.
At the very core of the Cass Review was the intention not only to collect existing evidence from the UK and internationally, but to improve the evidence to help health professionals make better decisions regarding these children.
