Trans Catholic Teacher
George White provides training in LGBT Inclusion specifically for Catholic schools. A crucial piece of Catholic teaching is often overlooked when it comes to discussing LGBT+ matters in Catholic spaces and that is ‘[LGBT+ people] are to be accepted with sensitivity, compassion and respect. Any sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided.’
His training enables Catholic schools to understand;
- Appropriate terminology
- Mental health concerns/waiting times for LGBT+ youth
- Ofsted Requirements
- Catholic Schools Inspection and Religious Education Directory Requirements
- Official Church teaching on sexual orientation and gender reassignment
- Examples of LGBT+ pastoral ministry from Pope Francis and other high profile Catholics
- How these examples can be translated into policy, practice and curriculum in Catholic schools
- Organisations/Documents which provide further support for Catholic schools
