The Green Party's fundamental values lead us to promote an inclusive society in which each minority group feels at home. We support making the government comply fully with the Human Rights Act 1993. We support workplace programmes in the public and private sector to eliminate prejudice, discrimination and harassment. The Consistency 2000 programme will be pursued to its completion. We support extending the option of legal partnership arrangements and rights to same-sex couples.
Parenting skills are distinct from sexual orientation or gender identity.
The Green Party supports a holistic approach to health that acknowledges the relationships between human rights and health and encompasses physical, mental, social and spiritual aspects within the wider context of the environment in which we live, work and play. We support the creation of safe and supportive educational environments. We support human rights education as a core part of the curriculum. We will ensure that teachers are adequately trained in educating for diversity through the inclusion of sexual orientation in teacher training and development. We support initiatives to educate all these institutions in sexual orientation and gender identity issues.
