Homophobic Bullying in Scottish Schools: Survey
LGBT Youth Scotland is carrying out research for the Scottish Executive into homophobic incidents in Scottish schools. They want to find out what young people in Scotland think about homophobic bullying so they have designed a short survey for young people.
Please complete the survey if you are a young person who is currently at school or who has recently left school - be sure to pass it on to your friends too. If you are a professional working with young people please do let them know about it. We hope to encourage as many young people as possible straight as well as gay, bisexual and transgender –to return the survey.
For more information and to complete the survey: www.lgbtyouth.org.uk/?id=27§ionID=27&a=d&sr=4&surveyid=18
