LGBT History Month

Kent County Council is raising awareness of LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) History Month by supporting a series of events during February 2010. Any staff in schools who are interested in finding out more about these events should see the attached programme.

February of each year has been set aside in the UK to mark and celebrate the lives and achievements of Lesbian, Gay Bisexual and Transgender people. The following (national) links have been set up to help organisations and schools plan and mark the event:
