Abstract
Report submitted to Yvonne Henderson and the Western Australian Equal Opportunity Commission Education Policy Steering Committee, Perth. [In memory of Isabelle Lake].

The literature review outlines the shifting contexts and research that underline the importance of specific provisions for GLBTIQ students. The review of Western Australian education identifies key gaps and opportunities for improvements. The fourth section supplies a rationale for the Safe and Supportive Schools approach. The fifth section provides recommendations.
