n West Sussex local practitioners have for some time been aware that there is inadequate service provision for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and unsure (LGBTU) young people. This is in the broader context of LGBTU young people failing to access mainstream services due to discrimination they have suffered in the past. Consequently, there is an urgent need for more research insights and understandings into exploring the current service provision for LGBTU young people in West Sussex, and for needs assessments to be conducted with LGBTU young people living in the area.

This research therefore aimed to redress this imbalance, and in doing so, provide a series of recommendations for the future provision of a LGBTU service for young people residing in West Sussex.
