Just Like Us has created more than 50 free, LGBT+ inclusive resources so that schools can easily celebrate. These include lesson plans, worksheets, assembly ideas, story time discussions, and presentations. Plus, there is a Rainbow Friday non-uniform day to fundraise for Just Like Us.
Each year, thousands of primary and secondary schools take part, gaining free access to a range of LGBT+ inclusive resources.
Why celebrate School Diversity Week?
Independent research has found a link between positive messaging about being LGBT+ in schools to pupils reporting better mental health and wellbeing. This is regardless of whether the pupils are LGBT+ or not.
