The Ministry of Justice is undertaking a review on the care and management of transgender offenders and hope to get insights from a wide range of stakeholders. In order to structure their thinking, they have produced a short paper (below) that asks open questions on which they would like your thoughts and insights.
As there are quite a number of questions, they expect you may want to respond only to those that relate directly to your interest or field of expertise. Please don’t feel compelled to reply to each and every one.
Replying online: If it would be easier for you to reply on-line, they have produced a simple on-line survey using identical questions on this link, https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/TGReview.
They are keen to hear from all relevant stakeholders, so please feel free to pass on the information and web link.
If you are not completing the online survey, you can email your reply to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or by post to George Barrow, Transgender Review, Ministry of Justice (4.12), 102 Petty France, London SW1P 9AH
A copy of the terms of reference of the review, which includes details of its independent oversight, is on this link, https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/review-into-the-care-and-management-of-transgender-offenders.
Given that they are hoping to have conclusions to the review in March, they would like any responses by 24 February.

TGEU’s “Know your Rights!” Guide provides an overview over the same areas of EU law as the Activist’s Guide (legal provisions in EU law that protect trans people from discrimination in the areas of employment and goods & services, as well as the rights of trans victims of crime and trans asylum seekers and refugees), but it is shorter and written in more accessible, less technical language. The guide aims to raise knowledge and awareness about trans people’s rights not just among activists, but also among trans people more generally. It also contains information on how rights can be claimed if they have been violated. The guide can be unfolded into a poster, providing an easy way to reach more trans people at events or in public spaces.
