The LGBT Consortium’s vision of the future is of an inclusive society where all young people, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity, are valued and play a full role as active citizens.

The following values underpin all aspects of the work of the Project:

· All young people have the right to be accepted and treated equally, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.

· All children and young people have the right to feel safe and to be protected from abuse and violence.

· Young people have the right to participate both in decisions that affect them and in society as full citizens.

· Services and other opportunities for LGBT young people should be accessible to those who wish to make use of them.

· Young people should be at the heart of the Consortium.

· Collaborative work between all relevant agencies is more effective in achieving results than each agency working on its own.
