En skola för alla? En kvalitativ studie om skolkuratorers syn på hbtq-arbetet i skolan

Sammanfattning: The aim of this study was to investigate school counselors approach towards, and experience of, working with lgbtq in school. The survey was conducted through semi-structured interviews with six school counselors working with students in age six-fifteen and sixteen-eighteen. The result of the study showed that all school counselors experienced the school environment as excluding for lgbtq-students. The school counselors who showed an interest in the question also showed a deeper understanding of the problem. They regarded themselves as an important part of changing the prerequisites for these students by introducing a norm critical work at school. The ones not showing an interest in the question considered that the responsibility for this work was the management’s or other school staff’s. These school counselors’ attendances were to support the individuals and to ensure that the students were not exposed to abusive behavior.
