Manifesto for Inclusive Physical Education
The Manifesto for Inclusive Physical Education is a set of commitments developed by school pupils in Scotland, which builds upon those pupils’ lived experiences of taking part in school sport as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or intersex (LGBTI) young people. By signing up to the manifesto, schools can demonstrate a visible commitment to improving those experiences by working to make physical education and school sport fully LGBTI inclusive.
