Monday 20th January, 0900-1700

I was assigned the following task for the day;

“I want to have a short resource that has a summary of what we know about LGBTIQ+ young people in Scotland’s experiences of PE that we can share with teachers.  I’ve attached some slides that I use but there’s nothing to hang these together. it would be great if you could research a little bit wider and see if there’s anything else that you can find (and take a look at the original sources of some of the ones on here too as I’ve been selective about the bits I pulled out).  And if you could start to draft up a short resource report that we can develop and ultimately share with teachers.”

I carried out the necessary research and created a first draft of the required report. LGBTIQ+ young people in Scotland’s experiences of PE

I found this task really interesting as I was able to take a more in-depth look at the work of various organisations who are working towards improving the lives of LGBTIQ+ people in sport. I also did some research into lives of LGBTIQ+ young people in Scotland and the UK, and though it would appear things are getting better for young people, there is clearly still a lot which can be done to ensure equal opportunities for LGBTIQ+ young people and eradicate homophobia and transphobia in our schools, sport and society as a whole.
This is the PowerPoint I used as the basis for my research: PEPAS

Below are the notes I completed as part of my research.
