Delivered by: Diversity Role Models is a dynamic charity whose vision is a world where everyone embraces diversity and can thrive. Our mission is to promote understanding and acceptance of individual differences and end LGBTQ+ bullying in schools and wider communities. We do this by harnessing the power of storytelling and delivering pioneering educational workshops.

Target Audience: All practitioners working children, young people and families

Course Aim (description): The session will cover knowledge of different identities and experiences in the LGBTQ+ community; multiple identities and communities and protection from discrimination under the Equality Act 2010; fostering good relationships between communities as to create a thriving and safe wider community for everyone; the impact of language, bias, and prejudice on inclusion; how to feel confident and be inclusive in challenging situations; being an upstander and active ally to LGBTQ+ inclusion and inclusion in general, individually and collectively. The session will include open discussion and the lived experience of diverse role models covering the impact of discrimination and the value of allyship, allowing the audience to ask questions to facilitators and members of the community.

Learning Outcomes: Upon completion, participants will feel confident to talk about sexual orientation and gender identity; engage with people from diverse communities and with multiple identities; and recognise and challenge homophobic, biphobic, and transphobic incidents. Participants will have a more in depth understanding of bias and learn how to embed inclusion into their practice.
