The General Teaching Council for England has ruled that an education manager at Brighton and Hove City Council is guilty of discriminating against a teacher who is trans.

Philip Morgan sent a secret fax to an employment agency that revealed his colleague was transgender and refused to write a reference.

The GTC this week found Mr Morgan guilty of six separate counts of discrimination. He has been ordered to undergo training.
