The Lancashire Lions Programme - Secondary

The Lancashire Lions Programme is an anti-prejudice programme which aims to create a Pride of Lions – a team of students who have been taught and empowered to redirect and disrupt prejudice and hate speech within your school. These incidents rarely take place when staff are present, so having a team of young people who feel skilled and empowered to intervene when it is safe to do so is invaluable to any school.

The programme is available to Lancashire Secondary schools at a cost of £950 which includes a staff meeting to provide staff an overview of the sessions and content as well as looking at how as a school you address issues of prejudice and discrimination. This can be tailored to meet the needs of your school or setting as required.
