Last week the Section awarded Anderton Park School in Birmingham an award for their commitment to inclusive education amidst months of protests. Our Chair said: “LGBT young people are at a heightened risk of being bullied and experience poorer mental health as a consequence. Teaching children about different types of families and challenging gender stereotypes from a young age is key to tackling this" https://www.bps.org.uk/…/embattled-scho ol-receives-award-co…
