Approach • Target 5 priority areas per year for improvement • Agree the areas of improvement with LGBT staff • Allocate a person as the lead for each area and goals • Regular group meetings of the leads (small and controlled) • Feed back to management, staff and your external stakeholders • Ask for help from the resources you have!

Available Resources • Your own staff and services • Communications office • Human Resources / Equalities Units • Academic legal department • Benefits provided by being a Stonewall Champion • Expert advice • Experience of other education establishments issues • Assistance in tailoring to an LGBT point of view
