Equality and diversity training - fuming

[Jayneisagirlsname]

I am currently working through training to become a tutor in my school for the government's 'fill in the learning gaps after coronavirus' plan.

Happy to do it, and to wade through the tedious crap which is of no use and nothing new to a teacher of 20+ years.

Tonight I tackled the Equality and Diversity module and I am fucking fuming. Throwing around phrases like 'sex assigned at birth' 'some children may be assigned a gender which does not feel right fit them'

It recommends Stonewall and the Stonewall Equality Index 2016 as being particularly useful and excellent resources. Also advises that bloody Brighton and Hove is an excellent example of Local Authority best practise. No it fucking isn't.

I'm planning to email the tutors group to complain about their wording and I also want to say something about Stonewall but I need some concrete stuff rather than just saying it's a lot of dangerous mid-information.

Can anyone help me with what to say?

Here you are OP - hot off the press from Safe Schools:

I really hate the sex assigned at birth crap.

Try Safe Schools Alliance for info / links

Is it with Pearson? That organisation is completely captured.

The actual legislation and the protected characteristics: www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2010/15/section/4

how about demanding explanations of absurd terms like "sex assigned at birth"

Thanks everyone. I am using the safer schools template and sending something this week.

The organisation is not Pearson, but it seems as if one of their senior personnel was there previously...

Doesn't this clash with the newish DfE guidance on sex and relationships education? Am sure someone will have a link.

Who is everyone sending the letter to? I would have thought school governors would be a good place?
