Stance - Against Homophobic Bullying

The Stance Resource Pack is a series of eleven books in one pack that has been developed to help schools understand the issues which are at the heart of homophobia and homophobic bullying. The pack demonstrates what school communities should be doing to reduce homophobic bullying and why they must be doing it.It also provides school staff with the necessary tools to address homophobic bulling in their school and achieve the aims set out in the 'Safe to Learn Guidance'.
When Phil Harbour first joined Leicestershire Anti Bullying Team, part of his role was to develop
guidance materials for Leicestershire schools in the area of homophobic bullying. What became evident
was that there was already a huge amount of guidance in existence for this particular issue. What did
not seem to exist, were the materials that would allow schools to understand, recognise and challenge
homophobic bullying in school. So he set out to develop such a resource.
Two years later, Stance Against Homophobic Bullying has been launched. The materials have been
developed with contributions from over 40 agencies and have received endorsement from The Football
Association (The FA), Hope Powell (England women’s football team manager) and John Amaechi
(former NBA player and author).
Phil is sure that with the clear guidance produced by the government and the stance resource pack, schools can now begin to recognise and address homophobic bullying.
