shOUT Report!
shOUT is an important piece of research into the needs of young people in Northern Ireland who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual and/or transgender
shOUT was launched by the NI Commissioner for Children and Young People at a ceremony in Belfast on 7 January 2004. Commending the report, the Commissioner, Nigel Williams, said that the real challenge of the report was to translate the reccommendations into concrete actions..”to challenge views…and rattle cages”.
Other contributors at the launch included Terry Smyth, Assistant Secretary, Department of Education, Northern Ireland. The Department commissioned YouthNet to carry out the research and Terry commented that it was now up to both the youth service and schools to translate the report into actions and to make all young people feel valued for their individual wealth which they could bring to schools and youth groups.
In response to the report, YouthNet facilitated a steering group of agencies involved in LGBT work and 2 Development Officers have been appointed to take the work forward. They can be contacted at the YouthNet office on 028 90 331880 or via email Amanda Stephens or Etain O’Kane.
