There are 2938 publications on the Department of Education NI website, some of them going back to the 1980s.
But it is a research report about the experiences of LGBT pupils in NI post-primary schools that the Department has chosen to delete to keep the site 'up to date'. 🤔

The best way for the Minister to ensure up-to-date research on the experiences of LGBT pupils in our schools is to commission new research.
