LGBT action plan

The Home Office has launched a cross-government LGBT action plan in order to meet its equality and diversity commitments in education, public services and workplaces. This includes a campaign to tackle homophobia and transphobia in sport which has backing from organisations such as the Football Association, the Rugby Football Union and the Olympic organising committee.
