Lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans. Are these terms you are confident about using when teaching sex and relationships education (SRE)? What about gender identity, cisgender and sexual orientation?
In a Stonewall survey, almost one in three secondary teachers said they “don’t know” if they are allowed to teach about lesbian, gay or bisexual issues. At the same time, more than nine in 10 say lesbian, gay and bisexual issues should be addressed in schools.
This clear need to provide information to support teachers in creating LGBT-inclusive curriculum content for SRE, coupled with young people repeatedly telling us that same-sex relationships and transgender people are often completely invisible in SRE, has led to the creation of the Sex Education Forum’s latest e-magazine, The LGBT Issue.
