December 9 saw the publication of a report detailing recommendations from the government’s LGBTI+ Youth Strategy, and it’s a world first.
The report was composed following consultation with approximately 4,000 young LGBT+ people and among its reccomendations are a need for more inclusive education and for the enforcement of antibullying policies in schools; gender-neutral toilets, changing areas and school uniforms; the inclusion of non-binary young people in the Gender Recognition Act; and improved mental health services.
