LYPSA (Lgbtq+ Young People in Social cAre) project seeks to improve LGBTQ+ young people’s experiences of social care and how social care supports this vulnerable group.

We are looking for children’s social workers in England to help test an online training programme for supporting LGBTQ+ children and young people. Participants will be involved in a trial study where they will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will undertake the free CPD-accredited training, which takes less than 2 hours to complete. Participants will complete a few short surveys for us about their attitudes and knowledge about supporting LGBTQ+ youth. Participants will receive a £10 e-gift voucher as an incentive for their time.

Interested participants must be employed by an English local authority and work in children’s social care services. Managers, senior managers and supervising social workers of foster carers are also eligible. Please contact Dr Willem Stander if you have any questions: [email protected]
