EACH

For more than forty years, EACH and I, as its Director, have supported LGBT+ adults and young people across the UK. Our work has helped local and national government,  educational institutions, health providers, plus the Criminal Justice System understand and meet its legal responsibilities with clarity and confidence.

What we deliver

• Criminal Justice System training: Supporting police, probation and court professionals to meet their duties when working with LGBT+ targets, witnesses and perpetrators of crime — including men affected by male rape or sexual assault.
• Health and Social Care consultancy: Helping services meet statutory obligations and deliver safe, lawful and respectful care.
• Education sector training: Equipping School Leaders to understand the latest LGBT+ Government legislation and make this work in practice in the classroom. Training staff to recognise, stop and prevent homophobic and transphobic bullying and to support LGBT+ young people and staff appropriately. 
• Policy development and review: Ensuring organisational frameworks are legally robust, defensible and fit for purpose.

Current and international work

Our training and consultancy expertise continues to be sought at the highest levels. Recent training and consultancy includes:

• Welsh Government‘s statutory anti‑bullying guidance, Rights, Respect, Equality — content originally co‑created by EACH for its 2020 publication and contributed to for its 2026 revision. 
• Department for Education – Engaging in consultation with the Government concerning revision of its statutory guidance for schools: “Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE)” within which is “Gender Questioning Children” for schools to implement in September.
• Independent Schools Association – “Working with LGBT+ Young People in Schools” CPD one-day webinar
• Boarding Schools Association – “Bystanders & Upstanders in Bullying” CPD webinar
• Churchill Academy & Sixth Form – Awareness‑raising assemblies with Years 12 and 13.

Our international training and consultancy delivered in Finland, Sweden and the USA has now extended to two commissions by Edward Elgar Publishing to write the chapter on Wales towards Bullying: Global Case Studies in Policy and Prevention for Young People covering 110 countries and territories – published June 2026 then a subsequent commission to contribute a chapter on a further international book on LGBT+ violence in Wales.

EACH enjoyed attendance at the Independent Schools Association’s national three‑day conference in Bristol – providing a welcome opportunity to develop our relationship with the ISA and subsequently work with School Leaders across the independent sector: supporting them in strengthening their understanding of LGBT+ matters and meeting statutory responsibilities.

Built on a legacy of nationally recognised excellence — and strengthened by a network of specialist associates — we provide consultancy, training and resources trusted by organisations determined to ensure their equality, safeguarding and compliances are correct.

Supported over many years by Government departments, the National Lottery, Comic Relief, the Diana Award, Quartet Community Foundation, independent organisations and individual donors EACH shapes national policy, improves professional practice ensuring LGBT+ adults and young people receive the protection to which they’re entitled in law.

Our work has been recognised with multiple national awards for impact, innovation and commitment to wellbeing. A particular point of historic pride remains our national freephone helpline: a vital support to young people experiencing homophobic or transphobic bullying.

In 2025, my contribution to Education, Health, the Criminal Justice System and His Majesty’s Government was recognised with the award of MBE in the King’s New Year Honours.
