GCSE citizenship studies: Free LGBT+ discussion plan
Just Like Us, the LGBT+ young people’s charity, has released a free GCSE citizenship studies session plan for KS4 pupils exploring LGBT+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) rights.
The free, ready-to-go resource invites pupils to discuss a topical issue in current society which is relevant to the LGBT+ community, with the aim of developing their discussion and debating skills.
The session plan also highlights the importance of how LGBT+ pupils need allyship in school, even if they are not out to others, and that pupils should be made aware of this when it comes to their discussions.
