ANNOTATION: This groundbreaking policy explains how detention staff will supervise Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) youth. It is considered one of the best policies of its kind. If you are looking to develop such a policy you would do well to look at this one. “Staff shall not discriminate against or harass, physically or verbally, any youth in our care because the juvenile is lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender or because a staff member perceives a juvenile to be LGBT. Staff must also protect youth from being discriminated against or harassed, physically or verbally, by other youth for being LGBT, or because juveniles believe, another juvenile is LGBT. All staff will ensure that LGBT juveniles are safe and accepted and will support LGBT juveniles with fair and equal treatment, without bias and in a professional and confidential manner” (p. 1).
