19th May 2023
INTO, NEU and UTU hosted a joint webinar to raise awareness on International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia, commonly known as IDAHOBIT on Wednesday, 17 May 2023.
IDAHOBIT is an important day for many organisations, including teacher unions, to draw attention to the discrimination faced by the LGBT+ community and to promote and encourage inclusion. We believe that it is our collective responsibility to educate ourselves and promote inclusion within our own communities.
The webinar was presented by Jo McParland from Cara-friend. Jo is the Education and Training Manager at Cara-Friend, responsible for the coordination and delivery of training to students and staff in education, as well as assisting schools to achieve our LGBTQI+ Inclusive Schools’ Charter.
