Toolkit aimed at providing information and guidance to schools and colleges.
Extract from Document
The purpose of this document is to provide information and guidance to schools and colleges in Brighton & Hove on how to more effectively support transgender and gender questioning pupils and students and prevent transphobia. This toolkit will enable schools to further embed the good work they are doing in this area and develop their approach to trans* inclusion and support. We hope that using this toolkit will:
- Increase the confidence of staff in supporting transgender pupils and students or those that are coming out as trans* or beginning to question their gender identity by providing an introduction to trans* identities and the issues trans* children and young people may face
- Provide information that will allow schools to feel confident that they are complying with the Equality Act 2010 and anti-bullying guidance in relation to trans* children and young people
- Highlight areas to consider when developing whole school policy and practice that will allow trans* children and young people to achieve at school and will reduce transphobic discrimination and bullying.
