In today’s podcast I speak to Carolyn Brown, retired Educational Psychologist with over 40 years experience of working in the Scottish Education sector. Carolyn is also one of the founders and members of Scot Pag - Scottish Professionals Advising on gender - a multi agency group of professionals from health, social work and medicine addressing issues related to what is happening in the present modes of understanding and treatment of the idea of trans/gender dysmorphia.

Whilst much of our conversation focuses around the hot mess that is Scottish Government’s Transgender Guidance, the trans topic points to a much larger issue of the need to look at the culture of schools. What is good for children? How do children learn? What does a good model of inclusivity look like? How is it we get adult agendas out of education? How do we support the curiosity and natural evolution of experimentation that children embody?
