Gender Identity Service Series
The Independent Review of gender identity services for children and young people (The Cass Review) was commissioned by NHS England to make recommendations about the services provided by the NHS to children and young people who are questioning their gender identity or experiencing gender incongruence and/or gender dysphoria.
These studies, published in Archives of Disease in Childhood, have assisted the Review in determining the most appropriate clinical approach and models of care, assessment and treatment.
