<p>Homophobic, biphobic and transphobic bullying is unacceptable and the Government
is committed to tackling it.</p><p> </p><p>There is no single source of data on the
level of bullying reported against lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT) people.
We rely on a range of sources to gather insight on bullying, harassment and discrimination
against LGBT people in different contexts. These include our regular omnibus survey
of pupils and their parents, research from the National Institute for Economic and
Social Research, which the Government Equalities Office commissioned in 2016 to review
the evidence of inequalities faced by LGBT people, and evidence from LGBT organisations.</p><p>
</p><p>In July this year we launched a national online survey to gain the views of
LGBT people living in the UK on what they think of public services. There are questions
about the workplace as well as health, education, safety, and more general questions
about being an LGBT person in the UK. The survey received an unprecedented response,
making it one of the largest LGBT surveys in the world. We will analyse those results
closely and set out further steps to promote LGBT equality next year.</p>
