Congress notes:
1. Government decisions to abandon comprehensive ban on conversion therapy
2. Gender-affirming therapy is not conversion therapy.
3. BCAP memorandum of understanding on conversion therapy, Government LGBT+ Survey and Coventry University research findings including that trans, Black LGBT+, and asexual people are more vulnerable to conversion therapy.
4. Publications and events around ‘gender-critical’ perspectives supporting some conversion therapy.
5. Potential involvement of post-school education institutions in policy-making on conversion therapy, and potential harm caused by conversion therapy to UCU members.
Congress resolves to:
1. support TUC position on conversion therapy and take action, including the General Secretary writing to relevant bodies.
2. work with Coventry University research team to produce a summary of their report for members, this to be linked to the LGBT+ Charter and microsites.
3. develop further resources and events raising awareness to support members and branches, including those raising issues related to conversion therapy.
