EACH

Since 1985, and as Executive Director of EACH between 2003 and 2024, I’ve endeavoured to make a positive impact upon the lives of LGBT+ adults and children both across the United Kingdom and throughout the world.

Honoured with Government, National Lottery and innumerable independent contracts EACH’s former Trustees and I trust its historic consultancy, training delivery and extensive resources remain a productive and valuable legacy of the charity’s objectives.

We are proud to have delivered our freephone helpline across the United Kingdom: providing unprecedented support and signposting for countless children and young people experiencing homophobic or transphobic bullying.  

Building on EACH’s tremendous achievements as a charity between 2002 and 2024 I am enjoying taking forward delivery of its training, consultancy and creation of resources for a multitude of organisations and institutions. So, although EACH is no longer a registered charity it continues to provide the training and consultancy for which it has received praise and commendation continuously throughout its preceding 24 years.

EACH is looking forward to working with the various disciplines connected with national and local Government plus state and independent schools in 2026, commencing with the Independent Schools Association in January. We’re looking forward to working once again with the Welsh Government on its revised anti-bullying statutory  guidance, “Rights, Respect, Equality”.

Published in April 2026 is “Bullying: Global Case Studies in Policy and Prevention for Young People”. This eagerly anticipated book will provide a global overview of how bullying and peer victimisation affect children and adolescents. Organised by geographical regions, each chapter outlines socio-cultural contexts of bullying in 110 countries or societies. I was delighted to have been commissioned to author the chapter on children and young people’s bullying in Wales.

In recognition of my services to Education, Health, the Criminal Justice System and His Majesty’s Government I was delighted to have been made a Member of the British Empire in the King’s New Year’s Honours 2025.

EACH and its established network of associates looks forward to working with your organisation or institution on sexual orientation and gender identity matters in 2026.
