Stonewall  - Train the Trainer for secondary schools

Homophobic, Biphobic and Transphobic (HBT) bullying is endemic in schools. 55 per cent of lesbian, gay and bisexual students say they’re experienced homophobic bullying. Nine in ten secondary school teachers say pupils regardless of sexual orientation experience it in their schools and nine in ten hear homophobic language. Almost all teachers surveyed say they want to tackle this problem, but lack the training or support to do so.
