Rainbow Wise LGBTQ+ Inclusion Training for Professionals

Become the supportive adult that every LGBTQ+ young person needs

Only £45 per person (bulk discounts available)

“Young LGBTQ+ people are more than 4 times as likely to attempt suicide than their peers.”*
However...
“If a young person has just one supportive adult in their life, they’re 40% less likely to attempt suicide.”**
That adult could be you.

As someone who works with or cares for young people, you’re on the front line. Every day, you have the chance to create spaces where they feel safe, seen and supported.
Yet when it comes to confidently supporting LGBTQ+ children and teens, knowing the right language and understanding your legal duties can feel like you’re navigating a political minefield. The fear of getting it wrong holds many professionals back. All you need is quality, accessible training that you can trust and that will fill in your knowledge gaps so you can confidently crack on with doing the work you love.
That’s exactly why we created Rainbow Wise.

The practical, engaging online course that gives you the skills, knowledge and confidence to support LGBTQ+ young people

This is more than just an online training course. It’s a comprehensive, bite-sized programme designed to help any adult working with young people become the safe person they need — whether you’re in healthcare, youth work, sports, social care or beyond.

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:

  • Use inclusive language naturally, so conversations don’t feel awkward or risky.
  • Spot when an LGBTQ+ young person might need extra support, and know how to help.
  • Challenge casual homophobia, biphobia or transphobia calmly and confidently.
  • Offer clear guidance and signposting, so young people (and their families) feel seen and supported.
  • Understand your legal responsibilities, so you’re never left second-guessing yourself.

It’s all delivered through short, engaging lessons in written and audio formats to suit how you learn best. There is not a single lecturing video or rambling talking head.

You’ll practice as you go with interactive activities to reinforce your learning and come away with a toolkit of practical resources, plus a certificate and social graphics to show your commitment to inclusion.

And best of all? You can revisit the course whenever you need a refresher.

Getting started couldn’t be simpler:

  • Sign up and get instant access.
  • Work through the short modules at your own pace - most people complete it in around an hour.
  • Learn through interactive activities, so there’s no big test waiting at the end.
  • Download resources and signposting guides you can use straight away.


You’ll finish with practical knowledge, renewed confidence, and a certificate to proudly display.

Right now, the world doesn’t feel like a friendly place for trans and LGBTQ+ folks.

If that feels unsettling to you as an adult, imagine how frightening it is for a young person still figuring out who they are.

But here’s the good news: we can make a difference. You can make a difference.

Let us show you how.

Hear what others are saying

“The training is great and covers everything we needed. It’s really user friendly and I love how it’s chunked into small sections so it doesn’t need to be done all in one sitting. A fabulous resource for anyone who works with the public, especially young people. Highly recommend.”

Lisa Butcher

PSHE/RSE Lead & Teacher of Music

“One of the best resources I’ve used in 25+ years in education. Informative, enlightening, accessible — with a brilliant mix of images, video, audio and interactive activities. It made me feel valued and respected. 10/10.”

Elizabeth Gorman

“As someone with ADHD, I really appreciate the variety. The retrieval quizzes are brilliant, and the regional accents make it personal. I feel more confident with gender and sexuality language, and even found myself correcting my language with colleagues — which makes me proud. My teenage daughter said it was ‘cool’ I did this. That alone made it worth it.”

Nadia Hewstone

Former Headteacher, CEO of Destino Coaching
