Iris Education is supported by Bad Wolf which allows the Iris team to work with pupils from schools across Wales to tackle homophobic bullying.
We have also produced a new education pack designed for educators to discuss gender, sexuality and trans inclusion with young people. Funded by Ffilm Cymru Wales and written by Tom Barrance, the pack is available in English and Welsh.
More information about the pack is available here:
