A Kerry school has been awarded the LGBTQ+ Quality Mark for its efforts to help all students feel safe and supported.

Colaiste Gleann Lí, in Tralee, was one of the first schools in the country to finish the 18-month accreditation programme.

Nearly 40 schools nationwide received the Quality Mark, which is run by the youth organisation 'Belong To'.
