Guide for Parents of LGBT+ Children

This guide has been created by MOD LGBT+ Allies to provide support and guidance to parents of LGBT+ children.

It is crucial to remember that coming out is never a one-time event and that our LGBT+ colleagues may have to face this often daunting experience many times in both their personal and work life
