Celebrating Difference is essential and valuable reading for every teacher and school leader - a groundbreaking book to help make our schools safer spaces for all young people.

The core of the book is based on Shaun's award-winning training programme Inclusion For All, endorsed by the Department for Education, presenting an effective approach to LGBT+ inclusion at a whole-school level.
