LGBTQIA+ part 2 with Ian Timbrell

In the second part of LGBTQIA+, Toria talks to Ian Timbrell about some of the issues facing our LGBTQIA+ young people today and how we can support them in school, including advice on how to support pupils coming out as LGBTQIA+ and what to do if a pupil asks to change their pronouns.
