Shawlands Academy Awarded Gold Level LGBT Charter Mark

That the Parliament congratulates Shawlands Academy in Glasgow, which has achieved the Gold Level LGBT Charter Mark; recognises the hard work and dedication of the pupils and staff in gaining this prestigious award from LGBT Youth Scotland; understands that the school undertook partnership work with sports clubs in the community to build an inclusive sports environment for young LGBT people to support them moving up into clubs outside of school and that LGBT author events and workshops took place that helped pupils celebrate LGBT identities, and welcomes the training and review of policies, practice and resources to help ensure that the Academy goes beyond meeting legislative needs and is as inclusive as it can be for pupils, staff, parents and the wider community.
