This session, co-produced with young LGBT*Q+ people, highlight the key issues faced by the young LGBT*Q+ people. Using age-appropriate language, they empower young people to become informed allies and supportive peers.

LGBT*Q+ History

This session, offer young people the opportunity to develop knowledge of key historic LGBT*Q+ figures, and their impact on society. How LGBTQ+ people have fought for rights, in the UK and abroad and the importance of Pride to LGBT*Q+ people

This course was very beneficial. It was interesting & relevant to my caseload. Helpful to explore some common misconceptions & terms preferred by transgender people, rather than hoping to get it right – thank you

Think everyone should do this training, really helpful resource.

Amazing training, delivered in a relaxed and informative way, this will really help my work with families.

Made me take time to stop and think about my own learning and also when thinking about people I support.

I felt very comfortable to ask questions and not worry if I got wording wrong. Trainers very open about own lives & experiences.
