This section contains examples of policy documents that cover LGBTQ+ issues within the primary school context. All the policies come from Thameside Primary School in Caversham, Reading, who have kindly given us permission to share these. The school has been given a Rainbow Flag for its work on creating an LGBTQ+ inclusive school; further details about the Rainbow Flag award can be found at\u00a0https:\/\/www.rainbowflagaward.co.uk\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the section is advice from Rainbow Flag about writing LGBTQ+ policies, as well as advice from Thameside Primary about writing these policies. There are also copies of the school\u2019s policies covering \u2018Safeguarding and child protection\u2019, \u2018Anti-bulling and anti-racism\u2019, \u2018Relationships and Sex education\u2019, \u2018Physical activity\u2019, and \u2018Uniform\u2019.<\/p>\n

The policy documents have been shared to support other schools in highlighting approaches and ideas that could inform their own policy making.<\/p>\n
