“…Could it be, as Imich et al (2001) note, that the``invisibility'' of homosexuality and lesbianism can be a potential problem for teenagers? It is imperative that this barrier is acknowledged and addressed.…”

“…Counselling components and teaching materials should address and re¯ect lesbian and gay lifestyles. Imich, Bayley, and Farley (2001) suggested that educational psychologists, in their work with schools, should inform schools of how the legislation does and does not limit them in their work and how to explore whole school approaches and school policies in relation to bullying and equalities.…”

This paper describes the outcomes of a small-scale project involving 19 secondary schools. The project investigated how effectively issues of homophobic bullying and sexualities were addressed through secondary schools' formal policies and areas of the curriculum. Outcomes indicate that sexual orientation was mentioned in two-thirds of Equal Opportunities policies but was not mentioned speci®cally in any Anti-Bullying policies. Staff highlighted the need for training in issues surrounding sexualities, homophobic bullying and clari®cation of Section 28. Implications for the work of educational psychologists are discussed, including raising awareness and clarifying issues in schools as well as informing whole school development work.

“…Paradoxically, educational psychology espouses a strong social inclusion stance (MacKay, 2000) underpinned by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the child (United Nations General Assembly, 1989), but perhaps has not convincingly demonstrated this with regard to the sexuality equalities agenda. Until 2001, sexuality diversity had been largely omitted from educational psychology literature, as reflected in the review by Imich, Bailey, and Farley (2001). This paper highlighted a lack of educational psychology service interest across the UK.…”

Despite an underlying inclusion agenda, sexuality equality remains a low priority in education. Review of literature suggests the marginalization of sexual minority young people (SMYP) in schools. This study explores educational psychologists' (EPs') constructions of sexuality and the implications for practice. Discursive psychology was used to analyse semi-structured interview data from seven EPs. Multiple and context-dependent constructions of sexuality emerged from the study. The research suggested that participants oriented to the need to maintain a non-prejudiced position and managed tensions of accountability using rhetorical strategies and interpretive repertoires. Conclusions centre on the need for reflexive practice to challenge taken for granted assumptions regarding sexuality in education and psychology communities.
