Parents must be involved if their children say they’re transgender or nonbinary in schools, the UK’s Education Secretary Nadhim Zahawi told a select committee of lawmakers.

Answering questions from the Education Committee on Wednesday, Zahawi said parents must be “front and centre” in safeguarding their children from ideologies that are not age-appropriate, and that the government is working on a new guideline for teachers.
