In recent years we have seen huge strides towards greater rights and broader acceptance for LGB people. However, due to a lack of monitoring sexual orientation there is a dearth of evidence within the public sector around the specific needs and experiences of LGB people. Monitoring is a fundamental first step to building this insight and will help build an evidence base on the specific experiences of this community, as well as better meeting the needs of all of your service users and staff. Whilst this guide has been written with reference to Health and Social Care, it is relevant to all organisations who want to benefit from sexual orientation monitoring. By the end of this guide we hope you will understand the purpose and value of sexual orientation monitoring and importantly, feel confident to do so.
