Would you like to become an LGBT School Governor? Find out more...

Changing social attitudes requires education at all levels but, most importantly, at school.  This is why it is so crucial that School Governor should reflect the composition of our communities.  All ethnicities, age groups, levels of ability, genders and sexual orientations need to contribute to ensuring that schools adopt a zero tolerance policy to all forms of bullying, including  homophobia and transphobia.  Bristol now has a network of LGBT education professionals to support peolpe working in education, so, why not consider becoming an LGBT School Governor and eradicate homophobic bullying from Bristol's schools?
