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 educational institutions, health providers, local and national government plus the Criminal Justice System understand and meet their 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 of crime, witnesses and offenders — 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 staff to recognise, stop and prevent homophobic and transphobic bullying or harassment and support LGBT+ young people and staff.
• Policy development and review: Ensuring organisational frameworks are legally robust, defensible and fit for purpose.

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 get equality, safeguarding and compliance 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 and ensures LGBT+ people receive the protection they are entitled to under the law.

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.

Current and international work

Our expertise continues to be recognised at the highest levels. Recently having delivered training for the Independent Schools Association and awareness‑raising sessions for Churchill Academy and Sixth Form we’re working with the Welsh Government on the rewrite of its statutory anti‑bullying guidance, Rights, Respect, Equality — content I originally co‑created in 2019 and have been re‑engaged to revise for its 2026 publication.

Our international training and consultancy delivered in Finland, Sweden and the USA now extends through Michigan University’s commission to write the chapter on Wales for Bullying: Global Case Studies in Policy and Prevention for Young People covering 110 countries and territories – published by Edward Edgar in April.

EACH looks forward to attending the Independent Schools Association’s national three‑day conference in Bristol — a welcome opportunity to extend our work with the ISA and support leaders across the sector to strengthen their understanding of LGBT+ inclusion and statutory responsibilities.

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.

Working with you

EACH is keen to work with your institution or organisation — in the UK or internationally. We bring clarity, authority and proven expertise to every aspect of sexual orientation and gender identity awareness: ensuring your policies and practice meet legal requirements which genuinely serve the people who rely on you.

Helping you understand legislation — and put this into practice.
