New guidance for schools, expected to be published next week, will state that children can socially transition with their parents' consent, meaning they can use another name or pronoun and wear the uniform of the opposite sex, The Times reported.
The U-turn comes after the attorney general is said to have warned ministers a ban on social transitioning would breach the Equality Act and require new laws.
The government's new guidance is expected to contain an effective presumption against social transitioning. It means children will only be able to transition in limited circumstances and with appropriate safeguards in place.
