There are estimated to be between 5000 and 6000 trans people in the UK, so many universities and colleges may never have to deal with a trans person among their staff and students. However, on the rare occasions when an institution does have a member of staff or a student who is undergoing gender reassignment, a large number of issues will arise, now underpinned by legislation.

This guidance describes those issues, summarises the law, and suggests clear steps to follow, drawing on examples and case studies from higher education institutions (HEIs) that have been through this process.
