The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) project has already published materials aimed at tackling both disability and racist or religious hate crime.
The latest batch of resources are aimed at teaching students about the impact of homophobic and transphobic bullying on victims and the potential consequences of this behaviour.
They are the result of a partnership between the CPS, the Ministry of Justice, and charity Stonewall.
The LGBT Hate Crime Pack contains a DVD and lesson plans for teachers, designed to help students discuss issues surrounding stereotypes and prejudice.
In 2012, the School Report from Stonewall found that 55 per cent of lesbian, gay and bisexual pupils have experienced direct bullying, while 32 per cent of gay pupils experiencing bullying said they have changed their future educational plans because of it.
