Stonewall’s Train the Trainer for LDBS schools
Tackling homophobic, biphobic and transphobic bullying and celebrating difference
Stonewall’s course gives teachers the skills, tools and confidence to train their colleagues to tackle homophobic, biphobic and transphobic bullying and language in school. This CPD accredited course is in line with legal and Ofsted requirements, including the new Valuing All God’s Children (2017) guidance for Church of England schools. Throughout this one day training course there will be opportunities to identify barriers and challenges, to talk through practical strategies and share best practice.
All attending schools become Stonewall School Champions for one year, receiving support from a dedicated Education team at Stonewall, new resources and access to Bronze, Silver then Gold Awards.
This course usually costs £200 + VAT per school, but has been funded by the Department for Education and Government Equalities Office in order to offer this course for free for a limited number of church schools.
