Feedback from our training so far...
"A really worthwhile session which left me feeling that I really can impact upon the homophobic culture in my school" (Classroom teacher)

"The most useful part of the training was the opportunity to reflect on our current practice and then give us ideas on how to improve further. Fantastic." (Student Welfare Coordinator)
