SUMMARY:The Real Story in Puberty Blockers
DESCRIPTION:Dame Dr Sue Bagshaw will led a Spirited Conversation\, as she care-fully explores this important topic. The government’s proposed ban on ‘puberty blockers’ has not gone away. In December the High Court was convinced to grant an urgent injunction to temporaily suspend the ban\, but the courts are yet to make a substantive decision. So it’s important that we understand the full story. What is science and what is moral panic? How can we best support our young people?
