Guidelines for best practice in work with young lesbian, gay and bisexual people - introduction

These guidelines have been produced by Terrence Higgins Trust’s Sector Development Officer – Young Gay Men. They aim to provide workers who wish to work with young LGB people, a set of basic guidelines that will ensure quality service provision.

Also included are several examples of work that workers may find useful and can be adapted to suit a project. The guidelines have been produced with the help and input from agencies nationally. They have been designed to address the needs arising from young people that Terrence Higgins Trust has worked with directly and they also highlight common themes identified by experienced youth workers in this specialised field.
