New guidance on how to support LGBT pupils in West Dunbartonshire and ensure they are provided “high quality” learning experiences has been approved by councillors.
A report submitted to members of the education committee revealed that some LGBT pupils experience higher instances of mental health issues and bullying.
Data also shows that since 2016 there has been an increasing trend of pupils who have indicated to school that they have changed names, their use of pronouns, or their gender.
