This session will explore the experiences of LGBT+ and disabled or neurodivergent young people in a variety of settings on a day-to-day basis.

Aims:

  • Recognise the challenges faced by LGBT+ and disabled and neurodivergent young people in RSE.
  • Identify strategies to make RSE more inclusive and to reflect the statutory RSHE guidance and the Equality Act (2010).
