LGBTQ+ young people exist in all youth work settings, and to support youth workers across the UK, we’re using our experience to create a range of inclusive resources.

Our resources are underpinned by youth work values and principles:

• Active Participation and Empowerment – starting from where young people are in relation to their own feelings, values, views and principles.
• Voluntary Engagement – young people can choose to be involved, recognising each young person as a partner in their learning process, requiring a trusting relationship between young people and youth workers, built on mutual respect.
• Non-Formal Education and Informal Learning – a rights-based informal education process which encourages young people’s autonomous agency.
• Equality, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion – treating young people with respect, valuing differences and promoting the acceptance and understanding of others.
