  1. CW: PSA - guide by Anne Health FAO supportive families of trans youth on what to do if you get maliciously reported to social services for supporting your trans+ child (under 18) with gender-affirming care

    Anne Health -- a non-for-profit gender-affirming healthcare company, co-founded by ex-Mermaids CEO Susie Green -- has created a guide entitled:

    Families of Trans Children Are Being Reported to Social Services: What to Do If It Happens to You

    We highly recommend reading the entire article, but if you want some of the key takeaways, here are some key takeaways they've created on a social media post elsewhere:

    1. Don't panic, it's not a crime.
      Supporting your child with gender-affirming care (even private or international) is lawful. NHS guidance is not legally binding.

      1. Ask for everything in writing.You're entitled to request all notes, communications, and records related to any referral or investigation.
      2. Cooperate reasonably, but know your rights.You can provide evidence and be transparent, but you're not obligated to comply with disproportionate or biased enquiries.
    2. Read the legal guide from Good Law Project.
      It confirms: social workers must act proportionately, puberty blockers do not meet the legal threshold for harm, and informed parental care is respected by courts.

    3. Remember your rights — and that you're not alone.
      In every supported case so far, social services took no further action. Legal care decisions made by loving parents are not abuse.

    This is the Good Law Project legal guide they link to:
