Swift Press has acquired Time to Think: The Inside Story of the Collapse of the Tavistock’s Gender Service for Children by BBC “Newsnight” journalist Hannah Barnes.
The Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS), based at the Tavistock and Portman Trust in London, was initially launched to provide talking therapies to young people who were questioning their gender identity. The NHS announced recently that the clinic will close in spring next year.
Barnes said: “The more I learned while researching and reporting for the BBC, the more I felt compelled to tell this story. I have forensically examined internal documents and sought out data that GIDS has not openly shared. While the work of the service was well-intentioned, some aspects of its care are found to be very much wanting. I have been shocked, upset even, by some of what I have heard about very vulnerable young people.
“Time to Think is the definitive account of the decade-long medical scandal that has unfolded at the Tavistock’s gender identity development service for children, by the journalist who has done more than anyone to uncover the story.”
