This will help us to develop policy to remove barriers to LGB&T equality. The key objectives of this research are to: •critically review and synthesise evidence on discrimination, disadvantage and inequality among and between different LGB&T groups and comparators groups (with particular focus on evidence from 2008 onwards); •effectively integrate evidence from 2008 with the findings from the EHRC’s sexual orientation research review, EHRC’s trans research review and the Scottish government to produce an assessment about the current research to produce a well-structured, robust and coherent report on evidence of inequality among lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender groups in the UK; •systematically identify and map evidence gaps by LGB&T group and policy area.
