'Essential and valuable reading for every teacher and school leader.' Peter Tatchell

'A huge stride towards genuine organisational change.' Dr Joseph Hall

'An outstanding book.' Professor Jonathan Glazzard

Celebrating Difference is an inspiring handbook for LGBT+ inclusion, aimed at all primary and secondary teachers and leaders. Written by Shaun Dellenty, an internationally celebrated lead in LGBT+ inclusion in education, the book is filled with practical advice to enable schools to bring about organisational change to ensure the safety, success, mental health and well-being of all pupils and staff.

This ground-breaking book examines the roots and impact of identity-based prejudice in schools, drawing on Shaun's own experiences of homophobic bullying and his subsequent career as a teacher and school leader. The core of the book is based on Shaun's award-winning training programme Inclusion For All, endorsed by the Department for Education. It presents an effective approach to LGBT+ inclusion at a whole-school level. This includes practical strategies to eradicate prejudice, prevent bullying, embrace diversity, and improve whole-school outcomes such as attendance and attainment, as well as mindfulness techniques and ideas for INSET training sessions and school assemblies.

Case studies and interviews with pupils and teachers who have experienced the Inclusion For All process, along with unique research insights from Dr Joseph Hall, University of Leeds, demonstrate how the strategies work in practice. Clear guidance will also enable schools to comply with Ofsted and statutory equality legislation and help them to teach children about British values, basic human rights, and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC).

Written with warmth, humour, and compassion, this is a must-read guide for all teachers and school leaders who wish to promote inclusion, celebrate difference, and ensure safer futures for all young people.
