Bridget Phillipson said schools have a responsibility to make sure teachers are treated with respect (Alamy/PA) -

Teachers can ask to be addressed as Mx instead of Mr or Mrs but they cannot insist on people using the gender-neutral title, the Education Secretary has said.

Bridget Phillipson said schools have a responsibility to make sure teachers are treated with respect, but also that people “with a range of viewpoints” on transgender issues are also treated with respect.
