Rainbow Flag Award

The Rainbow Flag Award

We proudly support the delivery of the Rainbow Flag Award locally.

The Rainbow Flag Award is a national quality assurance framework that has a focus on positive LGBT+ inclusion and visibility, for settings where young people exist. This includes:

  • primary Schools
  • secondary Schools
  • SEND Schools
  • alternative provisions
  • FE colleges
  • youth services
  • youth clubs
  • uniformed organisations, and
  • other youth focused organisations

The Rainbow Flag Award encourages a whole organisation approach to LGBT+ inclusion, as well as developing strategies to effectively challenge and combat LGBTphobic bullying.

Supporting Local

The Rainbow Flag Award is centrally managed by The Proud Trust, with many elements having devolved local delivery. This means that any monies generated from this scheme will help fund our vital work with LGBT+ young people.

Amazing, thank you for the information and support. It's a scary world being a parent to a child with ASD but now I feel there is light at the end of a very dark tunnel. Such a lovely, friendly team. Thank you.

I worked with Emily. I enjoyed talking about what's going on in my life whilst it is being fun, it's never 'there's something wrong', it's always 'how do we help you' which I like. Emily is amazing, she's helped me so much and she's just a lovely person!!!

YPAS was the first organisation that took me in and also the quickest, Sonia helped me get through a very difficult stage in my life and has bettered me as a person. I feel better equipped to deal with situations in life and my mental health has improved overall because of it.

My son has loved coming to sessions each week with Lisa. He has calmed down a lot. This has been a fantastic service with people who genuinely care. Thank you, Lisa!

I felt progression and I found my strength and resilience through the sessions. I am proud of myself for staying strong and showing my commitment through the past months of my sessions. I also gained a handful of coping strategies and I maintained my balance by controlling my worries.
