Rainbow Wise LGBTQ+ Inclusion Training
Ensuring all young people feel safe, seen and supported
As someone with ADHD, I really appreciate the variety of question types and the ability to dip in and out in bite-sized chunks as it keeps me focused and motivated. The quizzing for retrieval is especially brilliant and the regional accents make it feel personal and relatable. The content is perfectly pitched; clear, concise, and never overwhelming. I’m feeling more confident navigating language associated with gender and sexuality. I’ve already noticed myself correcting my own language with colleagues, which makes me feel well-informed and proud.
A standout moment for me in the training was the explanation of gender identity as it helped me feel safer discussing the topic with my teenage daughter, who actually said it was ‘cool’ I was doing this. That alone made the course worth it. I recommend the programme for educators everywhere who want to support pupils and colleagues from the LGBTQ+ community to be safe at school.”

“LGBTQ+ young people are more than 4 times as likely to attempt suicide than their peers. However, if a young LGBTQ+ person has a single supportive adult, they are 40% less likely to attempt suicide.”(The Trevor Project, 2021.)
Let us help you become more Rainbow Wise.
