- Refer young people who identify as LGBT to local youth group: it is important that they do not remain isolated.
- Include LGBT issues in the curriculum.
- Identify named people to support LGBT Young People such as school nurses, inclusion managers, child safety officer, personal advisers, youth workers (although these need to have training and be gay-friendly), and make sure students know they are gay-friendly; and
- Encourage your school youth council to work with the local LGBT youth group to develop an action plan.
