Guidelines on Inclusive Practice and Alternative Forms of Assessment
A Conservatoire target for 2013-14 was to develop actions to promote good relationships between groups of students with different sexual preferences and prevent homophobia. This action was developed in response to concerns raised by members of the Equality and Diversity Committee (E&DC), particularly in schools where students are admitted at age 16.
You can view or download the guidance we have developed as a part of this work via the link below:
