It was in effect from 1988 to 2000 in Scotland. One of the first legislations enacted by the new Scottish Parliament was to repeal this section, after a successful campaign led by the Equality Network.<\/p>\n<p>There was an earlier attempt to repeal the legislation introduced by the Labour Government in Westminster, but this was defeated. Theresa May, then Shadow Education Secretary called it a \u201cvictory for the common sense\u201d. It would take until 2003 for the clause to be repealed in England and Wales.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In relation to schools, the section prohibited schools to \u201dpromote the teaching in any maintained school of the acceptability of homosexuality as a pretended family relationship\u201d. There was widespread confusion with regards to what constituted such \u201cpromotion\u201d and fear, therefore, with regards to engaging in any form of discussion related to LGBT families or lives.<\/p>\n<p>Although over 20 years have passed since Section 28 was repealed, there will still be many education professionals who may feel worried about teaching LGBT inclusive education, and are unsure about whether they are permitted to do so. It is important therefore that educators are supported in becoming confident in this area.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7f6604b elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"7f6604b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1efd025 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"1efd025\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Please tell us about Scotland\u2019s commitment to LGBT inclusive education and what this means for schools in practice. https:\/\/equality.eis.org.uk\/voicesinunion-keyissues\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Tell-us-about-Scotlands-commitment-to-LGBT-inclusive-education.mp4 Reflective question: Think back to when you yourself were at school, in relation to LGBT inclusive education.
