In the August edition of Family Law, Dr Bianca Jackson, barrister with Coram Chambers, has contributed an insightful article that addresses the growing phenomenon known as ‘hormone tourism.’
With the recent curtailment of access to gender affirming medical care in the UK, many parents are travelling abroad in pursuit of medical interventions that are no longer available domestically.
Bianca’s article delves into the potential safeguarding concerns associated with this trend, particularly in light of the recent Cass Review and changes to legislation.
She critically examines the possible measures that children’s services may take and the legal orders that may be sought as a result of parents facilitating access to treatments like puberty blockers abroad.
As the landscape of gender affirming care evolves, Bianca Jackson’s analysis serves as a crucial resource for legal professionals and families navigating these complex issues.
