NZ Schools Guidelines

Independent NZ Guidelines on Sex and Gender in Schools

We have developed this guidance to help New Zealand educators build an understanding of new developments in sex, gender, and identity, to ensure that all students are safe at school.

We present research-based evidence and a compassionate roadmap to support schools to develop a respectful school climate that meets the needs of their diverse communities and is in alignment with globally-recognised best practice and pedagogy.

Our guidelines are endorsed by Emeritus Professor Sue Middleton and Emeritus Professor David Gerrard.
