LGBT Inclusive Education: Guidance, practicalities and planning

LGBT inclusive education is for everyone. It is needed to foster a safe and supportive environment for all children, young people and adult learners, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender.

This webinar will explore:

• Guidance and national approach to LGBT inclusive education
• Examples and case studies of integrating this in our settings and practice
• The positive impact of LGBT inclusive education

We’re excited to host alongside Time for Inclusive Education (TIE), Scotland’s LGBT Inclusive Education charity. TIE’s goal is for all young people to grow up in a society free from homophobia, biphobia and transphobia. TIE will share the practicalities and impact of their free national programme, ‘Delivering LGBT Inclusive Education’ which provides support for teaching and learning to create an LGBT inclusive curriculum. We will also share the evidence base for this approach and the positive feedback from parents and carers.
