- Motion text
Historically many LGB and T people chose to work and study in FE because it has been seen as a more accepting and diverse environment. Equality and diversity in employment practice and curriculum delivery are crucial.
The common Inspection Framework for Ofsted requires that providers are marked on their commitment to Equality and Diversity. E&D is a limiting grade.
Delivery of the Every Child Matters Agenda is also subject to Ofsted inspection, and includes a clear commitment to teach equality and diversity to full-time learners up to age 19.
Conference calls on FEC to
campaign for the limiting grade to be maintained in any inspection framework
campaign and provide support for work
against homophobia and transphobia in staff and classrooms
for the delivery of education supportive of LGB and T equality throughout the FE curriculum
publically encourage LGBT history month activities throughout the sector
