In August 2021, the Scottish Government published new guidance on Supporting Transgender Young People in Schools. The non-statutory guidance offers education authorities and schools advice on the legislative, policy and practical considerations that they may wish to make, in supporting Transgender Young People. The guidance has been subject to Equality Impact Assessment and Children’s Rights and Wellbeing Impact Assessment.

LGBT Charter Award
The LGBT Charter is a straight-forward programme that enables your school to proactively improve LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) inclusion for staff and learners. This includes LGBT inclusive teaching and learning, and supporting and better understanding the experiences of your LGBT learners.
The programme has been developed to support your school to undertake training and review policies, practice and resources to make sure that you’re not only meeting legislative needs but are as inclusive as you can be.
The LGBT Schools Charter Brochure will provide you with more information. If you would like to get involved, please contact Fiona White (Development Officer – HWB) – fiona.hewitt@renfrewshire.gov.uk
