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. Recommended. Celebrating Difference is essential and valuable reading for every teacher and school leader – a groundbreaking book to help make our schools safer spaces for all young people. The video ends with an explanation of what prejudice means and some of the benefits of living in a diverse society. Celebrate the differences in all pupils and staff, so that pupils with differences that are less common, such as a disability or a disfigurement, don't feel especially different. Have you ever been treated differently? (They include times they have been left out because of their race or gender.)

You will need the PowerPoint slides that accompany this assembly ( Celebrating Differences) and the means to display them. Children know about similarities and differences between themselves and others, and among families, communities and traditions. (Foundation) 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, presenting 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. For example, can they both talk and ask about pets, their favourite school subjects, spare time activities, music or favourite YouTube clips… It is important to enable and develop every child’s capacity to ask and be interested in class mates’ so that everyone can get to know everyone else as whole people and not labelled people. So many older LGBT+ people will be able to relate to Shaun's personal journey; it's why we need to constantly be reminding people of the 'not so long ago' past. Celebrating Difference is written beautifully with honesty and passion to make LGBT+ education understandable for everybody, without any barriers or prejudice needing to be in place. Once children have the knowledge and understanding, they will lead the way to becoming the LGBT+ educators of their siblings, mothers, fathers and other family members. - -- Dr Carl Austin-Behan, LGBT+ Advisor to the Mayor of Greater ManchesterThe Anti-Bullying Alliance is a coalition of organisations and individuals that are united against bullying. I thoroughly enjoyed reading Celebrating Difference and consider it a very timely book. This text uses a clear structure to move through the personal experiences of the author, through education practice, to a consideration of the issues from a more theoretical view. It situates LGBT+ within the context of inclusive education as well as providing practical approaches to the development of practice in schools. I shall certainly be using this text with both undergraduate education students, as well as student practitioners reading for their Masters in Inclusive Education. In this section, you will find links to all things bullying including the definition of bullying, research, our online CPD training and lot more about preventing, recording and responding to bullying of children and young people. If a pupil has a disability, disfigurement, or something that makes them appear 'different' to others, make sure you work with them to discuss what they want to share with others. Support them to define themselves and take the lead in their own lives

Explain that what makes them a group is that they are all children who belong to the school. This is our school family and we are all part of it. Each child is different and it is the differences that make our school a better place. Shaun Dellenty's whole-school approach to LGBT+ inclusion is a huge stride towards genuine organisational change. Regardless of the stage you or your school are at, this accessible and stimulating book will be highly relevant and of much value. - -- Dr Joseph Hall, University of LeedsCelebrate our differences and similarities with this assembly plan, created for World Mental Health Day 2020.
