LGBT+ History Month is a great opportunity to celebrate LGBTQ+ people and their achievements through history, and raise awareness of ongoing struggles and discrimination. 

This year’s theme is 'Science and innovation', celebrating the contributions that LGBTQ+ individuals (both past and present) have made.

When planning your LGBT+ History Month events, make sure the resources you use are sensitive and age-appropriate in approach and content, just as you would when planning your curriculum all year round. 

This can be a sensitive topic for some, so you might have to field questions and/or objections from parents or carers. Read our article about handling objections from parents/carers about relationships and sex education (RSE) for some useful tips.
