This resource provides information and guidance for schools to create safer and more inclusive environments for their trans, gender diverse and intersex students. Every young person has the right to feel safe and know that they can express themselves free from discrimination. Making schools safer is intended to strengthen the work being done to ensure the next generation of trans, gender diverse, and intersex students in Aotearoa New Zealand are affirmed and supported to be their amazing selves. Many of its messages are relevant for primary, intermediate, and secondary schools alike.

This resource has been developed in collaboration with rangatahi, trans- and intersex-led community organisations, whānau, school staff, and the Ministry of Education.
