Exploring the perspectives of community workers engaging with schools in relation to work with gender and sexuality diverse young people

Fortey, Emma (2021) Exploring the perspectives of community workers engaging with schools in relation to work with gender and sexuality diverse young people. Master of Philosophy thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore community workers’ perspectives of their interactions with secondary schools in Queensland as part of the work they do with gender and sexuality diverse young people. Semi-structured interviews were used to examine what community workers reported as the enablers and constraints in their day-to-day work practices and experiences. The interview data was analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. Recommendations outline some strategies to improve community worker and school collaborations and the transformative possibilities for more inclusive schools for gender and sexuality diverse young people.
