– Development of a range of policies and guidance documents supporting our LGBT staff and learners, including information on how we can all be an Ally to our colleagues.

– Co-hosting a Trans Allies Programme with RCT Council, run by Stonewall

– Participation in national and local campaigns and awareness raising events

– Continued involvement with Pride Cymru and Stonewall

– Forthcoming participation at Pride Big Weekend, Cardiff (25th and 26th August).
