“This is not about what you think, feel or believe (about homosexuality), it’s about what you do to ensure that all young people have equal access to a quality education, free from abuse.” — Teacher

Leave It Out proposes that real and positive change can be achieved by facing up to the problem of homophobic bullying.

The resource recommends revising school policies to specifically identify the issue of homophobic bullying within the school’s anti-bullying policy. By doing this, schools will experience a reduction in the use of homophobic language and bullying behaviour and create a safer environment for all young people.

Leave It Out encourages Boards of Governors, principals, teachers, support staff and pupils to take collective responsibility for much needed changes in attitudes and behaviours within the school community.
