EACH’s training provides expert assistance to primary and secondary schools, academies, colleges, universities and local authorities: building capacity to affirm the lives of LGBT+ people and inspire confidence in staff to support them. Contact EACH to commission School Leaders’ training or CPD to be ‘classroom ready’ for the new statutory guidance from Westminster: 

Training for Schools –  Responding to Gender Questioning Children (KCSIE 2026 – England)

• Understand the new statutory safeguarding requirements introduced within Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) 2026 for supporting children who are questioning their gender. 
• Develop confidence in making lawful, child-centred decisions  balancing safeguarding duties, parental involvement, equality obligations and the welfare of the child on a case-by-case basis. 
• Apply the guidance to everyday school practice including requests relating to names, pronouns, uniforms, social transition, confidentiality and the use of single-sex facilities and sports. 
• Strengthen safeguarding decision-making ensuring staff understand when to involve parents (when confidentiality may be appropriate) and how to identify and manage safeguarding risks. 
• Review and update school policies and procedures to ensure compliance with KCSIE 2026 before it comes into force in September 2026 including reviewing any existing cases of social transition. (GOV.UK)

From primary to secondary schools, colleges and universities, from rural to urban and in faith or secular settings, EACH’s training is effective across the whole range of institutions – creating a safe and equal learning environment for all.

School leaders and teaching staff share a legal and moral duty of care to nurture and develop the values of empathy, understanding and respect towards every pupil or student.

Homophobic, biphobic or transphobic bullying or harassment affects everyone: not just those who identify as LGBT+. Any child or young person can find themselves the target. HBT name-calling, bullying or harassment creates distressing learning environments which curtail your pupils’ or students’ ability to achieve their full potential.
