The Scottish Government introduced a ‘strategic action framework’ to improve gender identity services in December 2021.
We’ve put together this guide to talk you through the 17 commitments in the framework, and break down what each of them mean, what’s happened so far, as well as letting trans and non-binary people know how they can have their voices heard in the process.
Our report on the experiences of over 500 trans and non-binary people across Scotland is now live!
