Professional Development
At Queer Education Consultancy, we pride ourselves on the diversity and flexibility of our research-informed continuing professional development sessions. With a particular emphasis on LGBTQ+ inclusion, we offer a range of comprehensive sessions that empower educators to create safe and inclusive learning environments.
Our sessions are designed to accommodate your busy schedule, offering both half-day and full-day options, as well as shorter twilight workshops.
However, we understand that every educational setting is unique, and that's why we go beyond the pre-designed sessions. We offer the flexibility to customise packages that can incorporate aspects from our outlined sessions or be finely tuned to address the specific needs of your setting.
This tailored approach ensures that your team receive training that is relevant, impactful, and directly applicable to your organisation’s goals. With our inclusive and collaborative consultancy services, we are committed to supporting you on your journey towards fostering an inclusive culture that celebrates diversity in all its forms.
