Tim Bancroft, ABC Project Manager, Derbyshire County Council states: "an excellent session, by young people and for young people, by turns emotionally affecting and challenging that brings to life this form of prejudice."
Jackie Scothern, Ecclesbourne School states: "provided excellent materials to use in the classroom. Raised issues around language and gives practical advice on how to deal with it."
We can offer teacher training tackling the difficult subject of sexuality and homophobic bullying. We also have produced two complete lessons for Keystage 3 (year 10/11) which produces empathetic and powerful responses to homophobic bullying and enlightens the young people about the issues of sexuality.
We can give schools these resources on CD ROM so they can print and reproduce the activities themselves alongside training the teachers to use them and empower them to tackle homophobic bullying.
