My friend has two mums – gender and sexuality in early childhood (online)

Our services are now working with children who identify with a different gender, with same sex parents, with openly gay and lesbian educators. And, importantly how we deal with these issues are part of the National Quality Standard!

But how do we learn about them? We now know a lot more about gender and sexuality than we probably did when you studied at Uni or TAFE. But, till now, there has never been a course where you could learn about things such as:

• how to do inclusion right for children and families of all genders and sexualities• what the I in LGBTI+ actually means• unknowing discrimination of children and families• rainbow families• heterosexual, lesbian, and, gay educators

But now there is.
