Review your schemes of learning
School Diversity Week can be a great opportunity to start a whole-school project embedding LGBT+ inclusion in your schemes of learning.
You could run this initiative as a more general ‘diversity inclusion’ project, to
ensure that your schemes are fully inclusive of all protected characteristics.
There are plenty of ways to do this:
make use of our subject-specific lessons - add them as a permanent part of your schemes

where relevant, use images which depict same-sex couples, trans, non-binary or gender non-conforming people


take out all gendered language (refer to ‘people’ instead of ‘men and women’)

include works by LGBT+ individuals (e.g. in English or Art), or mention when an LGBT+ person is included in the curriculum

open an ‘Identities’ section in your school library

double-check you're ready for LGBT+ relationships and sex education to be covered in SRE ahead of statutory implementation this September
