Join us at Gay's the Word bookshop to celebrate publication of That's So Gay! Challenging Homophobic Bullying by Jonathan Charlesworth. All welcome for this free, informal standing book launch party. Please RSVP here on Facebook. Doors 6pm. The Book What is homophobic bullying and what do you do about it? Why do young people bully and how can you prevent it? This practical handbook guides you through dealing with homophobic bullying, supporting those who bully and those who are bullied, and creating inclusive environments. Essential for schools, teachers and others working with young people. Are you eager to challenge homophobic name-calling in your school but not confident about how to go about it? Would you recognise homophobic bullying, and what can schools do about it? "That's So Gay!" is an accessible, practical guide to making your school a safer place and creating an inclusive bully-free culture. It shows you what homophobic bullying looks like, who experiences it, and explores the reasons young people bully others homophobically. It also reveals why young people are often reluctant to report homophobic bullying, the increasing role played by the internet, and the profound effects bullying can have well into adulthood. Adopting a whole-school approach, this book provides practical guidance on prevention, working with those who bully, and handling disclosures, as well as advice on anti-bullying policies. Written by an expert in the field, this is a vital guide for schools, teachers and anyone with a duty of care towards young people. The Author Jonathan Charlesworth is the Executive Director of the charity Educational Action Challenging Homophobia (EACH), UK. He has over thirty years teaching and training experience and regularly delivers training and consultancy on homophobic bullying, harassment and crime to schools, colleges, universities, the police service, and other statutory and voluntary sector agencies internationally. He is included within the Expert Advisers database of the National Crime Agency and is a frequent presenter at conferences.
