- Motion text
Conference believes that:
1. FE colleges should be welcoming and supportive places for all LGBT+ people
2. FE is a unique place for people to find and express non-normative identities
3. Many curricula areas operate from a hetero and cis normative basis
4. A number of LGBT+ learners attend FE colleges and benefit from support from FE staff
5. There is little research into the experiences of LGBT+ staff and learners
Conference resolves to:
a. Support branches in promoting LGBT+ equality in FE
b. Undertake a survey about LGBT+ experiences and issues in FE
c. Launch a resourced week of LGBT+ liberation activity in FE in line with the UCU LGBT+ charter focused on evidence from the FE LGBT+ survey
d. Develop guidance about how curricula in FE can be LGBT+ inclusive
e. Engage with national FE sector organisations to develop LGBT+ work across all FE provision.
