NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire would like to hear from you!
NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire is carrying out a listening exercise to hear the experiences of children and young people who identify as LGBTQ+ and those who support them (for example a parent, teacher, professional, youth worker) in accessing emotional health and wellbeing services
If you’re aged 11 to 25 and identify as LGBTQ+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, non-binary and those who are exploring gender identity and sexual orientation), we want to know about your experiences of emotional health and wellbeing services. These services are delivered in line with the THRIVE framework and principles, and form part of the ‘getting advice’ and ‘getting help’ categories of the framework.
We want your feedback on:
Your current experiences of health and wellbeing services as an LGBTQ+ person: what is working well for you and what could be better?
What can health and wellbeing services do so that LGBTQ+ children and young people feel comfortable, safe and accepted?
Current experiences of referring into health and wellbeing services on behalf of children and young people who identify as LGBTQ+: what is working well and what could be improved?
Your feedback will help us improve support for you and others.
How to get involved
The listening exercise will end on Friday 30 January 2026. A copy of the final report from the engagement activities will be published on the following website.
If you need any more information, please get in touch with the Engagement Team: nnicb-nn.engagement@nhs.net.
