The free resource – published by charity Stonewall in conjunction with education publisher Pearson – offers practical support and ideas for schools to include issues around lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people and families into their lessons.
It has been produced in response to research carried out by the charity that found nearly half (45 per cent) of LGBT young people are bullied because of their gender identity.
The Stonewall School Report also found two in five pupils (40 per cent) are not taught anything about LGBT issues.
