Young people consistently say they want more opportunities to talk about sexual orientation and gender identity in the classroom. An LGBT-inclusive approach to SRE is vital for addressing prejudice and for ensuring that RSE meets the needs of all children and young people.

RSE will be statutory in all schools from September 2019 and DfE have indicated that it must be inclusive, in line with the Equality Act. This one-day training equips participants with the skills and confidence to deliver an RSE curriculum that is positively inclusive of LGBT identities and relationships. Participants will explore how an LGBT-inclusive approach will help to meet new statutory requirements, equalities duties, safeguarding and prepare for Ofsted. The approach is interactive, with opportunities to trial, evaluate and adapt resources for your school.

Training outcomes

• Clear knowledge of new legislation, Ofsted requirements and equalities duties
• Confidence to use key terms and appropriate language in the classroom
• Awareness of a range of resources for support teaching about human sexuality, gender identity and diverse relationships
• Practical understanding of how to update existing materials, policies and approaches
• Strategies for responding to concerns from teachers, parents and the wider community
