Management Information Sheet
Norfolk Schools Surveys for LGBT History Month - February 2014
Due to school requests we have extended the survey to now close on Friday 4 April at 5 pm. See the links for the MI sheets previously issued which contain the full instructions and links for you to carry out this important survey.
The survey will help you understand:
- how much homophobic and transphobic language is used in your school
- what pupils in your school think is acceptable language and what they consider offensive or bullying
- the extent of homophobic and transphobic bullying in your school
- what pupils think of what your school teaches them about the lives of gay, bi-sexual and transgender people
- the extent to which homophobic and transphobic language is challenged by teachers and pupils in your school
- what pupils think your school could do to tackle homophobic and transphobic bullying
This information is currently investigated by Ofsted during their inspections. See the latest Ofsted guidance on exploring school's actions to prevent homophobic bullying. It will provide your school with a good baseline from which to judge future work. Already we have had a good response from both primary and secondary schools.
If you wish to discuss the survey please do not hesitate to contact Rita Adair on 01603 307567 or email: rita.adair@norfolk.gov.uk.
