It comes as research by charity Just Like Us found that 64 per cent of LGBT+ [lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender] young people have contemplated suicide.

Smestow School, in Castlecroft, Wolverhampton, and Moseley Park, in Bilston, Wolverhampton, are taking part in School Diversity Week; which takes place from June 21 to 25 and is run by Just Like Us.

The campaign provides schools with free resources, including free online master classes.
