the lesbian, gay and bisexual charity

Stonewall's key priorities 2011/2012


Education

Challenging homophobia in secondary schools, primary schools, colleges and universities and underachievement by lesbian, gay and bisexual pupils through development of our Education for All programme. Raising standards through local government, the teaching profession and young volunteers.

Workplace

Promoting fair treatment across the GB workplace. Further growing our Diversity Champions programme, helping gay people choose good employers and develop at work. Promoting pension equality.

Equality at home

Putting equality into practice by promoting fair treatment of LGB people across the public domain such as the NHS, the policing and justice system, housing, care and children's services and sport. Improving political representation.

Equal legal treatment

Securing equal legal treatment in areas where it doesn't already exist such as the legal form of marriage to same-sex couples. Influencing public policy development in areas such as service delivery, asylum, the workplace and faith-sanctioned discrimination.


Media

Promoting fair and representative coverage in the print and broadcast media. Pro-actively engage broadcasters to promote realistic representation of LGB people. Develop more ‘non-crisis intervention’ by Stonewall in the media. Encourage LGB people to engage with newspapers and broadcasters.
