Simple steps to make all students feel welcome
We know that young LGBT people experience a much higher rate of bullying than those who are not LGBT. A stonewall report shows that 45% of LGBT children are bullied, rising to 66% when considering only trans students. One in five LGB+ pupils and two in five trans students have attempted to take their own lives and one in ten pupils receive death threats. We must be extra vigilant when working with this group and support them however we can.
