Jordan Darlington·28 August 2014·3 min read
The ten points on the Stonewall’s checklist are:
1. Anti-homophobic bullying policy and mandatory training 2. Student sexual orientation monitoring 3. Explicit welfare support and info for LGB students 4. Society for LGB students 5. Events for LGB students 6. Consultation with LGB students 7. Specific career advice for LGB students 8. LGB staff network 9. Stonewall Diversity Champion 10. Engagement with the wider community
Apart from the list prepared by Stonewall, LGBT students can also share their own experiences in the “tell us more section". Each entry in the Stonewall’s guide is supported with practical information on the University (fees, UCAS points, website) and a short description of available LGBT support (such as names of the LGB societies and information on the city’s gay scene. Due to the character of the list, it’s difficult to pinpoint which Universities have THE best LGBT support, so instead, we’ve listed some of the most well-known Universities alongside their score.
