This is at the heart of our strategy ‘Sporting Future’. However, sports governing bodies each have their own rules on transgender issues and it is appropriate that they can determine the right position for their own sport.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The Sports Councils' Equality Group (SCEG) is in the process of reviewing Transgender Inclusion in Domestic Sport in the UK, commissioned in 2020. Subsequently a wide-ranging consultation has taken place. They are now processing the information they have collected as they work towards a carefully considered outcome in this complex environment. It is anticipated that the revised guidance on trans participation in sport will be released later this year.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Mid Worcestershire answering member printed Nigel Huddleston question first answered 22/06/2021 09:57:20 answering member 4407 label Biography information for Nigel Huddleston
