This group’s remit will include:
recommending an agreed definition of conversion practices
drawing together existing data and evidence on conversion practices, including international practice
advising on potential actions to ban, end, or reduce conversion practices
advising on support for victims and survivors
advising on aligning any ban with commitments to protect freedom of expression and freedom of religion, in line with existing legislation
advising on how mental health services, religious bodies and other professionals should be supported to provide appropriate services to people seeking help and advice in relation to their sexual orientation or gender identity
This is in the very early stages but I anticipate that the Group will begin its work in spring 2022...
