Stop Homophobic Bullying Education Pack Launched
I developed a new education pack called STOP HOMOPHOBIC BULLYING that we
launched at Sheringham High School with Year 8 pupils as part of Hate
Crime Awareness Week. The pack includes stories from young, local LGBT
people who
have experienced bullying (taken from a brilliant booklet that the Norwich BLAH Youth Group created a couple of years ago) and activities to make young people think
about how they could support friends being bullied. It also offers ideas
for how to challenge the use of the word ‘gay’ as an insult. The lessons went down well with pupils and comments on
the feedback forms included, 'perfect', ‘it’s brilliant, keep it as it
is’, 'there is nothing to make it better.' There were several calls for 'more sweets' so I'll bear that in mind!!
