In 2022, SPC was formally recognised as one of the first LGBTI+ Safe and Supportive Schools in Ireland. The LGBTI+ Safe and Supportive Schools Model was designed by BeLonG To, and the Health Promotion & Improvement Department of the Health & Wellbeing Division of Health Service Executive (North West). The Model comprises of six key areas that overlap and interlink to provide a comprehensive approach to developing an LGBTI+ safe, supportive and inclusive school that includes:
Ensuring that staff are LGBTI+ aware and equipped to address LGBTI+ issues and support vulnerable students.
Creating a supportive school culture and environment for all students, including LGBTI+ students.
Developing and implementing effective school policies and plans.
Implementing a curriculum that supports diversity and respect.
Providing direct supports to LGBTI+ young people through the appropriate school structures.
Working with the community outside the school gates, including any local LGBTI+ youth projects/groups, parents and community organisations to promote a wider LGBTI+ inclusive community.
