We urge the United Kingdom government to implement a total ban on all forms of conversion 'therapy'. This harmful practice violates human rights, causes significant psychological and physical harm, and undermines dignity. A comprehensive/total ban is essential to protect all people from this harmful practice.

The harmful practice of conversion 'therapy' is unethical and physically and psychologically harmful and is shown as such by multiple UK and International professional bodies and other organisations.
