The education of young people who are looked after by local authorities continues to be an issue which is inadequately addressed across England and Wales as a whole. This article identifies the difficulties and, from research data, outlines some of the strategies which have proved effective. The data indicates that the problems can be resolved, and suggest that practitioners in local authorities must continue to strive to ensure that all young people who they are looking after have an equal opportunity to experience a positive educational career.

The purpose of the Greater London Authority (GLA) Sexual Orientation Equality Scheme (SOES) is to outline in one document the methods the GLA uses now, and will use in the future, to ensure it promotes LGBT equality and challenges discrimination and prejudice on the basis of sexual orientation. It also outlines the work already carried out to promote sexual orientation equality and its outcomes and priorities for action over the coming two years. The GLA’s aim is to make sexual orientation equality a central part of its work by putting it at the centre of policymaking, strategy formulation, service delivery and employment practice. The document covers work the GLA does and work undertaken in partnership with the four other GLA group organisations, namely London Development Agency (LDA), the London Fire & Emergency Planning Authority (LFEPA), Metropolitan Police Authority (MPA), and Transport for London (TfL).
