LGBT History Month
https://lgbthistorymonth.org.uk/
The overall aim of LGBT History month is to promote equality and diversity for the benefit of the public.
This is done by:
- Increasing the visibility of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (“LGBT”) people, their history, lives and their experiences in the curriculum and culture of educational and other institutions, and the wider community;
- Raising awareness and advancing education on matters affecting the LGBT community;
- Working to make educational and other institutions safe spaces for all LGBT communities; and
- Promoting the welfare of LGBT people, by ensuring that the education system recognises and enables LGBT people to achieve their full potential, so they contribute fully to society and lead fulfilled lives, thus benefiting society as a whole.

The PSHE Association is working with the Government Equalities Office (GEO) on its anti-homophobic, biphobic and transphobic (HBT) bullying project. The project aims to reduce the incidence of HBT bullying in primary and secondary schools in England by transforming the culture of how schools prevent and respond to HBT bullying. Six organisations and consortia have been funded to carry out this work. Please click on the link to download resources.

LGBTQ+ Terminology and Awareness School Staff Survey:
We had 94 completed surveys returned. We continue to remain committed to listening to school staff and will continue to encourage feedback throughout the academic year. As a result of this survey, we have created a 'you said, we did' document to show how we are supporting schools with some of the issues rasied in the survey.
Raising Awareness of Hidden Disabilities – the project
This Leeds-based project was carried out in partnership with young people with SEND. The words and drawings of young people with SEND were used to create informative posters all around raising awareness of hidden disabilities, with an accompanying assembly (for children and young people) or learning session (aimed at adults).
Help to amplify the voices of young people with SEND by displaying the posters in our communities!
