The government will introduce a legislative ban on the practice of so-called conversion therapy. This consultation seeks views on proposals on how to ban these practices, which particularly affect LGBT people.
The consultation seeks views on a package of proposed measures that will apply to England and Wales. These include:
- a ban on conversion therapy – introducing a new criminal offence alongside sentence uplifts for existing offences,
- a package of support for victims, restricting promotion of conversion therapies, removing profit streams, and strengthening the case for disqualification from holding a senior role in a charity,
- introducing Conversion Therapy Protection Orders to protect potential victims from undergoing the practice including overseas,
- exploring further measures to prevent the promotion and advertisement of conversion therapy.
