NatCen Social Research 2014 Whole school integrated approach ‘was regarded as working better than only using stand alone teaching on HBT bullying specifically’ HBT bullying reduction ‘was seen as more successful when teaching about LGBT people’ and ‘was incorporated into teaching throughout the curriculum Having an approach to challenging HBT across the schools activities and involving the whole school’ is ‘seen as working’. Being clear with faith leaders (who are hostile to LGBT) that HBT bullying is about relationships and bullying and not about sex

New Ofsted Framework – LGBT+Inclusion now included in all judgments September 2013 ‘Exploring the school’s actions to prevent and tackle homophobic and transphobic bullying’ PRIMARY – Inspectors explore whether: pupils ever hear anyone use the word ‘gay’ when describing something, or whether they have been told by teachers that using the word ‘gay’, to mean something is rubbish, is wrong, scary or unpleasant and why it is wrong pupils ever get picked on by other children for not behaving like a ‘typical girl’ or a ‘typical boy’ pupils have had any lessons about different types of families (single parent, living with grandparents, having step- parents, having two mums or two dads) pupils think if there is someone born a girl who would rather be a boy, or born a boy who would like to be a girl, they would feel safe at school and be included. SECONDARY – Inspectors explore whether: there is any homophobic bullying, anti- gay derogatory language or name calling in school or on social media sites if a gay pupil was ‘out’ in school, that pupil would feel safe from bullying they have learned about homophobic/transphobic bullying and ways to stop it happening in school they learn in school about different types of families – whether anyone is, or would be, teased about having same-sex parents. there is any homophobic bullying or derogatory language about staff someone - pupil or teacher - who thought of themselves as the opposite gender, feels safe and free from bullying at school

What is discrimination?

An LGBT+Inclusive Curriculum? 40% of schools have ‘no subject areas’ where LGBT is present 53% are not teaching about LGBT relationships 49% are not teaching the definitions of lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans. That is almost half of our students across the country not receiving any form of LGBT+Inclusive education 3% of schools have LGBT+ activity in 2 or more subject areas Educate & Celebrate survey 2015

After WW2, the pink and black triangle were adopted by the LGBT+ community as a symbol of remembrance
