Figuring out who you are can take time. Some young people may wonder about who they’re attracted to or about their gender identity and that’s okay. Young LGBTQ+ people may want to share this with others or they may not. Everyone’s experience is unique, and we all get to decide what feels right and safe for us! If you or somebody you know would like to talk to somebody about diverse sexualities or gender identities, contacting your nearest PFLAG+ or LGBTQ+ youth service can be a good place to start.
Safe Space Resources
Inclusive spaces maximise the wellbeing of everybody, including children, young people and families. Currently, LGBTIQ+ people are still at risk of experiencing discriminatory homophobia or transphobia. This can make them feel unsafe in education and health settings, accessing services or other social spaces, which impacts on their health and wellbeing.
Having a safe space signifies a commitment to ensuring that everybody is treated with respect and supported, regardless of their identity. These posters have been designed to be used by education settings or other organisations working with children, young people and families. Displaying a Safe Space poster will identify the organisation as being inclusive and supportive of LGBTIQ+ people.
