Earlier this week, Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, Katherine Zappone, launched BeLonGTo’s new online training
‘Creating LGBTI+ Inclusive Schools and Youth Services’
This exciting new online training programme includes videos, exercises and quizzes to equip education and youth service professionals to become better at listening to, understanding, responding to and supporting LGBTI+ young people – ensuring that you become part of a positive story in their lives.
Who is it for? The training is for those working directly with young people in education or youth work settings such as teachers, youth workers, guidance counsellors and youth club leaders.
How long is the training? This is a 3-hour online training programme. You can complete the course in one go or over a series of weeks – whatever works best for you.

I hope you will take this step to equip yourself with skills to support the LGBTI+ young people that you work with.
