Education is the key to reducing bigotry in Scotland and as a nation we should be thankful to the work of teachers, educational establishments and all who work in the sector. Can you help us find someone who has played a role in helping to support the LGBT+ community by breaking down barriers – or maybe it is a school, college, university or apprentice scheme which has gone that extra mile to implementing an inclusive learning environment. Help us celebrate the amazing work that has happened by nominating your star now.
