This is a CPD resource to be used for training staff in how and when to deal with homophobic/ biphobic/ transphobic comments that take place in the classroom. The CPD could be sent out as an email, could be used in a 15/20 minute briefing, or used as part of a longer CPd session on inclusivity etc. It also discusses what constitutes LGBTQ+phobic behaviour and comments, how to recognise them and when to deal with them. There is some use of statistics from some Stonewall studies to show the prevalence of LGBTQ+phobic language, as well as on the impact of this on LGBTQ+ Students. Please Note: This resource will need some input from the user to reflect the behaviour policy/appropriate members of staff/appropriate sanctions etc (for example, if you use SIMs to record bullying as opposed to using CPOMs you will have to edit to reflect this) *

A whole staff CPD that can be either delivered in person, or sent out as a remote CPD if necessary due to Covid-19 or staff absence. This should only take about 20-30 minutes to deliver depending on the amount of detail you would like to go into. There are notes on most of the slides elaborating on the points made in the slides, as well as a copy of my Printable guide for supporting Trans and NB students. Statistics come from Stonewall’s Guide for Supporting LGBT Young People.

A single slide PowerPoint with an introduction on how to make your classroom a safe and welcoming space to support those who are trans/non-binary, and to also promote support and respect for trans/non-binary identifying people amongst all students.
