The Department for Education (DfE) has published research looking at evidence for transgender awareness in child and family social work in England. Findings from a rapid evidence review of literature; a content analysis of a sample of social work courses and semi-structured interviews with stakeholders include: the limited research identified suggests that transgender people commonly report having poor experiences within social and care settings; a lack of evidence around the inclusion of transgender issues in social work education in England; and interviews with stakeholders suggest that transgender people continue to have poor experiences when in contact with child and family social services.
