FOI release

Does the SIA have communication channels for gender critical people

Published 25 August 2023

1. Request

I am researching how embedded gender critical discourse is within the UK government. The Cabinet Office have informed me about the situation there, but they have also advised me that I would need to contact each department or agency individually in order to learn the situation there because nobody has this information centrally. Could you please tell me if your agency hosts any communications channels dedicated to gender critical people or the SEEN network. These might be on Teams, Yammer, Slack, etc.

2. Response

I can confirm that the SIA does hold this information. The SIA does not have any groups or communication channels dedicated to gender critical people, discourse or the SEEN Network.
