The question
To ask the Scottish Government what assessment it has made regarding the consistency of the Care Inspectorate's current guidance on supporting transgender and gender-diverse children and young people in care settings with the findings and recommendations of the Cass Review, and whether it will ask the Care Inspectorate to withdraw or revise this guidance.
The answer
As the Care Inspectorate is an independent non-departmental public body, it operates at arm’s length from Government. The Care Inspectorate therefore issues its own guidance independently from the Scottish Government to maintain its role as an impartial and objective regulator.
