I wonder what's behind this?
More specifically, I wonder whether it's because some / a lot of dubious and even harmful materials and training have been getting into schools.
Obviously the BBC is framing it as taking money away from anti-bullying projects, as you would expect these days.

Part of the story reads:
"The Government Equalities Office had funded several well-received programmes costing at least £4m, which specifically targeted LGBT bullying, since 2014. Many had been extended and given further government support.
Initially called The Homophobic, Biphobic and Transphobic Challenge Fund, the government programme was not compulsory for schools, but it allowed teachers, staff and students to receive free training and workshops.
...
But the BBC has learned that the government quietly ended its funding of LGBT anti-bullying initiatives last March."
