We have commissioned further research to inform policy development in this area. Following a competitive tendering exercise, in 2019 the Government Equalities Office commissioned Coventry University to undertake research which explores evidence of practices, experiences and effects of conversion therapy. Officials are currently reviewing the findings of this report prior to publication, and reviewing the efficacy of both legislative and non-legislative measures in ending these practices.</p><p>Once this work is complete, the Government will bring forward proposals to end conversion therapy in due course.</p> answering member constituency Saffron Walden answering member printed Kemi Badenoch question first answered 03/09/2020 08:26:03 answering member 4597 label Biography information for Kemi Badenoch
