PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Conversion Therapy (14 September 2021)

To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, what steps she plans to take to ensure that survivors who are asked to contribute to the Government’s consultation on banning conversion therapy receive support.

Asked by:
Marsha De Cordova (Labour)

The Government is working at pace to deliver on our commitment to ban conversion therapy. As previously stated, we will also ensure there is support available for victims of conversion therapy; the first time the UK Government has offered this. The support will be available to whoever considers themselves to be at risk of - or has undergone - conversion therapy, whatever the circumstances.

The importance of developing a quality service is of central importance, and we are working at pace to explore delivery options available to realise this commitment. An announcement with more details on the service and how it will be delivered will be made in due course.
