Responding to a Teacher Tapp survey for the charity Just Like Us, which found that 55% of teachers across England agreed that their school takes 'active steps to be LGBT+ inclusive', with 9% disagreeing, Paul Whiteman, general secretary at school leaders’ union NAHT said:

“We see through our members how committed the profession is to championing and defending diversity, tackling discrimination, and creating inclusive learning and working environments for all their pupils and staff. It’s important we share and celebrate the fantastic work many schools are doing.

“However, these figures also show there is still more for some schools to do to demonstrate these values in action and ensure all staff are aware of and engaged in this work - and it’s important that school leaders are supported to develop and maintain an inclusive environment.”
