UCU: Increasing the visibility of young LGBT+ people in FE

Motion

Motion text: Conference notes with concern
1. Very vocal opposition to trans rights is spearheading a new fear
2. associated lack of action to support young LGBT+ people further impacted by
the Cass report and actions of both this government and its Tory
predecessor
Conference welcomes examples of good practice such as the LGBTQ+ Student
Support Group established at West London College should be shared with UCU
equality strands and UCU FE branches.
Conference believes UCU members should be equipped with information and
knowledge about helping create a positive environment for LGBT+ students and
staff.
Conference calls for
a. Lobby of the government to get an LGBT+ positive approach toward support
for and education of young people.
b. UCU regions and nations to organise LGBT+ CPD sessions across each year
to enable FE staff to develop positive environments for LGBT+ people and
combat the growing fear.
