Scottish primary schools have started appointing children as "LGBT Champions".

Pupils north of the border are also being urged to ask pupils as young as four if they are gay, lesbian or trans.

Documents discovered by The Telegraph found schools are setting up LGBT clubs and "gender and sexual orientation alliance groups" under the scheme set up by LGBT Youth Scotland.

LGBT Youth Scotland received nearly £1million of taxpayers' cash last year and is even urging head teachers to install gender neutral lavatories.

The report comes shortly after the release of the Cass Review into NHS gender identity services last week.

It found evidence for allowing children to change gender was often built on weak foundations.

However, revelations north of the border, which come after Humza Yousaf rolled out Scotland's controversial hate crimes law, brought renewed criticism on LGBT issues.

Carolyn Brown, an educational psychologist, said: “Children of primary school age are very suggestible and are still at a very early stage of their psychological and emotional development.

“What we are seeing here is the product placement of gender ideology in schools which is potentially very harmful.

“Kids in primary school cannot possibly know if they are LGBT because biologically, psychologically and emotionally they will not yet have the capacity.”

LGBT Youth Scotland claims more than 200 Scottish secondaries and over 40 primaries have joined its charter for education.

The fee to join the charter ranges from £850 to £2,000.

Schools opting into the scheme must appoint at least two pupils and two members of staff as "LGBT Champions".

Documents given to schools in the scheme say the champions should hold quarterly meetings to drive forward LGBT inclusion.

Schools hoping to obtain a gold award are also told to provide evidence of their “LGBT safe spaces” such as gender neutral lavatories and PE classes.

A Scottish Government spokesman said: “We are committed to doing everything we can to make Scotland the best place to grow up for LGBTQI+ young people.

"This includes funding LGBT Youth Scotland to deliver a range of projects, such as the LGBT Charter programme.”
