YOUNG PEOPLE HEALTH & WELLBEING 12-21


JUNCTION UPDATES:


LGBTQ+ CHARTERMARK



Since early 2023, The Junction has been working towards a Gold level LGBT
Charter Award. The LGBT Charter, developed by LGBT Youth Scotland, supports The
Junction to proactively support our staff and volunteers and to provide high
quality services for LGBTQ+ young people. In 2019, we achieved a Silver Award
and developed many inclusive practices which we maintained. However, we decided
we were ready to push ourselves, to go the extra mile and go for Gold!

At the Junction, we hugely value inclusivity, and we work with a significant
number of young people who identify under the LGBTQ+ umbrella. We feel it is
vital that we ensure that our service does everything it can to welcome and
include those who identify as LGBTQ+. The journey has been challenging and
rewarding in equal measure. The programme expects a high standard, and rightly
so – that means there has been some hard work and reflection involved.

We have appreciated the additional push to connect with partners in the sector,
consult young people in more depth, put extra energy into celebrating LGBT
History Month and key calendar dates, and to update our policies and guidance.

WE HOPE THAT THE ADDITIONAL INCLUSIVE PRACTICES AND RESOURCES WE HAVE DEVELOPED
WILL HELP TO ENSURE LGBTQ+ YOUNG PEOPLE, STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS FEEL THE JUNCTION
IS A SAFE AND WELCOMING PLACE.

WHAT IS THE JUNCTION?

The Junction is a safe, friendly, confidential centre which offers lots of
health-related services, education and support for young people in Leith and
North East Edinburgh aged 12-21.

We think it’s important to listen to young people and find out what they think
and want. That’s why young people have been consulted from the start of the
Junction and continue to be so today.

Here at the Junction, we are working to promote long-term prevention of health
problems, to raise young people’s awareness and self-esteem and to enable them
to make informed choices about their health and well-being. The aim is to help
them help themselves which if successful will ultimately have a positive effect
on the community as a whole.
