RMT to Consider How We Can Help Tackle Homophobic Bullying in Schools

In response to the resolution from RMT's AGM (submitted by RMT LGBT conference) - which you can read here - the Council of Executives has made the following decision:

That we note the Resolution from the AGM and to prosecute this Resolution, the General Secretary is instructed to:-

1. Contact the charity Diversity Role Models and ask for a presentation from them to a Council of Executives and ask to give a presentation to the LGBT Advisory Committee; their views will be tabled for the Council of Executives to consider.

2. Write to the NUT; NASUWT; UCU; ATL and the EIS for their policies on the subject and when we have collated all this information the Council of Executives will then consider what political campaigns we can run or be part of to oppose cuts in funding to anti-bullying initiatives.
