WEBINAR CPD

We offer 1 hour webinars which can be booked for your specified date for all employees to access. When you book three x 1 hour webinars you have the choice of having them delivered on the same day, on different weeks, different months or spread out throughout the academic year. Three webinars rolled out over the academic year works particularly well for County Councils and Consortiums.

Examples of current webinars are:

• An introduction to gender and sexual orientation law, policy, inclusive language and the impact this has on school life 
• Environment and Curriculum Focus exploring resources for all subject areas at all key stages. Exemplar lessons and assemblies
• Community Focus How to engage young people and families in positive change, signposting to services, successful interventions

Key learning points:

• To develop a deeper understanding of sexual orientation and gender
• Intersectional curriculum development in all subject areas and key stages
• Exploring cisnormativity and heteronormativity
• To experience successful examples of change from our partner schools and colleges, through films, exemplar lessons, inclusive language, law and expectations, examples of environmental changes and community events

' Thank you for delivering a crystal clear and concise webinar yesterday, it was terrific '

'Amazing what you achieve in an hour, very well planned. Lovely to see the schools and all their inclusive wonderful work.'

' This was my first webinar on the topic of inclusion relating to LGBT+ in an office setting, and it went above and beyond what I had expected, really grateful and inspired, thank you.'

' It is so important for our children, their parents and teachers to feel as though they have the support and acceptance within their local community on a daily basis. PRIDE was a fantastic example this year of how we can come together to raise awareness, this now needs to be a priority and is our responsibility to ensure that our children are able to grow up as happy and healthy individuals, regardless of their sexuality or identity '

'I just wanted to say a great big thank you for the training last night. We all thoroughly enjoyed it and there was so much positive feedback. Staff said it was very informative, the time just flew by and one member of staff commented that it was the best training we've had. The staff are literally buzzing with ideas to get started, so I just wanted to say THANK YOU from me too. Your passion for this area and style of delivery was brilliant!!'
