In this episode we hear from student Willow and Wellbeing Leader Taylor about the restorative work Charles Campbell College is doing to support and champion LGBTQIA+ students.

Learn how the school fosters a safe and inclusive learning environment where all students feel valued and supported.

We’ll also discuss the Department for Education resources that schools can use to better support LGBTIQA+ communities, so everyone feels like they belong.

Show notes:

• We understand and acknowledge the LGBTQIA+ acronym is evolving and used differently across groups in the community and doesn’t recognise Aboriginal cultural diversity. We want to assure all our listeners that we value and recognise all identities and we know the acronym doesn’t include every identity.
