Kirsty Williams AM has published statutory guidance to make school uniforms more affordable, accessible and gender-neutral.
The new Welsh Government guidance comes into force from 1 September 2019 and provides advice for governing bodies and head teachers on issues relating to school uniform policy. The previous 2011 guidance was non-regulatory and, as such, schools were not legally required to have regard to it.
