  • LGBT+ Young People's Voice

    WSCC 'Children, Young People and Learning' department are delivering LGBT+ training and awareness events to celebrate pride month. 

    These events aim to increase staff awareness of LGBT+ terminology, experiences and support services, so that they are better equipped to support LGBT+ young people and their families. 

    We want to hear from LGBT+ young people about their experiences of having support from a professional; this could be a social worker, child and family support worker, teacher, TA or anyone else who has supported you as a professional.   

    These experiences could be:

    • Good practice; something a professional has said or done to support you in your LGBT+ identity or exploration which has made a positive impact on you.
    • Top tips; your top tips for professionals working with LGBT+ or LGBT+ questioning young people.
    • Bad practice; something a professional has said or done which you feel was not supportive of your LGBT+ identity or exploration.


    You are welcome to submit answers via this survey, or if you prefer, we would love to receive some posters or artwork of any format which shares your experience of being an LGBT+ Young person in West Sussex. 

     All submissions will be anonymised, however, there are questions asking if you'd like to be involved with future Voice and Participation work around LGBT+ topics. 

    All submissions will be gathered by Lauren Boal (she/her), Voice and Participation Officer (who leads on work for SEND and LGBT+ children and young people).  Lauren is LGBT+ affirmative in her practice. 

     If you have any concerns or worries around this project, or want to submit your experiences directly or please contact her via email lauren.boal@westsussex.gov.uk


    Closing date: Friday 24th May 2024
