Who we are and what we do

We aim to provide a safe and welcoming environment for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Young People on the Isle of Wight. In order to do this we have to ensure that each young person’s confidentiality is safeguarded. As a visitor we ask you to agree to maintain confidentiality with regard to others and the location of our premises.

Information about a person belongs to them and should not be shared or disclosed by others without that person’s permission. If someone divulges their sexuality to you, you are expected not to reveal that information to anyone else. Even if someone seems very open about their status it does not mean that they tell anyone else about it – and neither should you.

Confidentiality
‘I promise to keep secret the meeting place of the Youth Group and will not tell anyone who is not a member of the group where it is.’

Outing
‘I will not ‘out’ anyone that I meet at the Youth Group. I will not cause any group member any embarrassment should I meet them outside of the group.’

Discrimination
‘I will not discriminate against any group member because of their age, sexuality, colour of skin, disability or religion.

Please help us to maintain Youth Pride as a safe place.
