We are satisfied that our account of these proceedings was clear, accurate and consistent with the BBC News Style Guide.

Our report set out the key specifics of what had been said in court, including about the transfer of Michelle James from Maghaberry Prison to Hydebank Wood.

We described the accused as a ‘transgender woman’ and noted that the Department of Justice had agreed to their transfer to Northern Ireland’s female prison in the absence of a policy for ‘transgender prisoners’.

The BBC News Style Guide says: ‘A person born male who lives as a female, would typically be described as a “transgender woman” and would take the pronoun “she”. And vice versa. We generally use the term and pronoun preferred by the person in question, unless there are editorial reasons not to do so.’

We know that issues in this area can sometimes be complex and sensitive – explaining why we approach them with care and taking account of relevant editorial guidance.
