LGBTQ+ Awareness Training
LGBT Youth Scotland offers a range of online and in-person training opportunities designed for organisations and educational settings to create safer, more inclusive environments. Our training enables staff to build confidence, increase understanding of LGBTQ+ identities and experiences, and develop practical, hands-on approaches that strengthen inclusive practice.
100% of Charter awardees found the training elements of the programme relevant, useful and well-presented
ONLINE
Our LGBTQ+ Awareness Training is a standalone online module, accessible to staff and practitioners for one calendar month, allowing them to complete it at their convenience alongside other work and projects. This course supports participants to explore LGBTQ+ identities, gain insight into lived LGBTQ+ experiences, and build the knowledge needed to confidently support LGBTQ+ young people and colleagues.
Training features information on legislation and terminology, interactive activities, and videos from young people, as well as a wealth of downloadable resources.
LIVE SESSIONS
Our live workshops, delivered in-person or online, offer an engaging and collaborative learning experience. We tailor sessions to your setting and create a supportive space for practitioners to learn, reflect, and share experiences. With a strong focus on practical application, participants will leave equipped to actively embed LGBTQ+ inclusion within their everyday practice.
Workshops can be delivered with a specialist focus, including LGBTQ+ awareness, Trans Awareness, Workplace Inclusion and LGBTQ+ experiences of Domestic Abuse.
Testimonials
“The scenario based questions I believe where enjoyable and useful part of the course, being able to use real life examples helps bridge the gap from reading material to real life application.”
“The young people who presented the videos were very articulate in presenting the information. They provided useful insights into their own experiences. A lot of effort had obviously been made to break up the training so that there was a mixture of reading, audio, videos and questions.”
“It was all very useful. The personal testimonies of young people within the LGBTI community was very powerful and made me emotional.”
