Leicestershire County Council are proud to be members of Stonewall's CYPS Champions programme. The CYPS Programme is a recognition of the support we, as a Local Authority offer to LGBTQ+ young people across the county and we currently hold gold status.
There is a range of information and guidance on how to support LGBTQ+ young people in your school on Leicestershire County Council's Anti-Bullying website:
-
Stonewall is a lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights charity in the United Kingdom. It is the largest LGBT rights organisation in Europe and they provide a wealth of information on their website.
Brighton and Hove Trans Inclusion Schools Toolkit
Leicestershire County Council does not currently have its own Trans inclusive guidance for schools, however, we are proud to have been involved in the review of and to share this updated version of the Trans Inclusion Schools Toolkit, agreed by Brighton & Hove City Council's Children, Young People and Skills Committee in June 2021.
We believe this guidance provides ideas for policy and practice that will keep trans children and young people safe and help to create environments which prevent and respond to gender stereotypes.
