Safe Schools Program
I believe strongly that schools should have a safe, secure and accepting environment. School is a place where children often seek approval and want to fit in to friendship groups. Many adults in todays society still battle with different forms of mental illness as a result of being bullied in school. Growing as an individual through childhood is what shapes us into the person we are today. The Safe Schools Coalition encourages and provides schools with different resources to ensure that homophobic behaviour is eliminated. After reading on their website I think that this is an excellent program to ensure children are educated in the equality of same sex attracted, intersex and gender diverse students. The program also guides and educates the teachers to prepare them when addressing certain situations appropriately to ensure discrimination is diminished in school settings.
