LGBT+ History Month

LGBT+ History Month takes place in the UK every February.

The overall aim of LGBT+ History month is to promote equality and diversity for the benefit of the public.

This is done by:

• Increasing the visibility of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (“LGBT+”) people, their history, lives and their experiences in the curriculum and culture of educational and other institutions, and the wider community
• Raising awareness and advancing education on matters affecting the LGBT+ community
• Working to make educational and other institutions safe spaces for all LGBT+ communities and
• Promoting the welfare of LGBT+ people, by ensuring that the education system recognises and enables LGBT+ people to achieve their full potential, so they contribute fully to society and lead fulfilled lives, thus benefiting society as a whole.
