Ensure statutory guidance under the Equality Act is debated in Parliament

Launch a review into increasing the teaching of LGBTQ education in schools
We ask the Government to a launch a review into increasing the overall education of LGBTQ topics in schools, as many young queer kids don’t have anyone to ask, especially if they’re closeted. We believe schools are scared to bring up LGBTQ topics.
Criminalise & legally require schools to tackle bullying in & out of school
We urge the Government to make repeated bullying over the age of 10 a specific criminal offence, and to make it a legal requirement for schools to act on all forms of bullying, inside and out of school, and mandate mental health reviews after bullying-related self-harm.
