National Coming Out Day Tutor Time PPT
This is a PowerPoint which could be used either as an assembly or as a tutor time/registration time activity. It explains the meaning behind National Coming Out Day and why it is important, includes real life coming out stories from celebrities and other LGBTQ people, and has a slide which includes charities that young people can go to for support and advice. The slides finish with a copy of Dean Atta’s poem How To Come Out As Gay from the book The Black Flamingo.
LGBTQ+ History Month- AID's Crisis Assembly/Lesson
This is a resource designed for commemorating the AIDs crisis, as part of LGBTQ+ History Month during February. This resource could be used as an assembly, a tutor time presentation, or as a lesson. It should take between 20 and 25 minutes to deliver in full, so if used as a lesson you may wish to add some written tasks (some suggestions are given in the powerpoint itself).
There are detailed notes in the notes section of each powerpoint slide, to aid delivery and help with background knowledge in case the students have questions.
The final slide has space for you to include and signpost in-school support that is specific to your school, as well as some AIDS and LGBTQ+ youth charities you can also signpost students towards.
What is Transgender SRE Lesson
A lesson all about what “Transgender” means in line with the new RSE Curriculum. Also contains talking points for students, discussions about gender, how to be an ally, and signposting to charities and organisations which can help support students and their families.
CPD session on tackling homophobic behaviour
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) *

Please be aware that most of these assemblies require you to have a little bit of input on your part- generally it is just updating the slides which tell students who to go to if they have concerns or want to talk.
Thank you so much for celebrating with your students!
