LGBTQIA+ Representation in primary schools

As all members of staff in a primary school should know, the child should be at the centre of everything we do. So, in discussions like this we need to bring the narrative back to age-appropriate terminology. For example, in EYFS the young children do not need to understand what LGBTQIA+ is, however, they do need to be taught that families different to their own are still as much a part of society as anyone else’s and it is not acceptable to disfavour their peers because of these differences.
