Sorry for the flurry of emails….
Phil Barnet working with Lifelong Learning UK has asked me to distribute information on a project he is working on with regards to equality issues between LGBT sectors and faith, religion and belief in F.E and H.E. This project has a staff AND student focus and looks really interesting.
For more information please see email below and attachment.
It would be great if you could distribute the links to both the staff and student survey to the relevant areas of your institutions
Staff: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=jCqBe3KE4FL6s1o57mpXhA_3d_3d
Student: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=eU_2bxWD2kUZ81ns2bQ9E1og_3d_3d
He will also be leading focus groups for the research and if you are interested in taking part in one of these you can contact Phil directly – his contact details are on the attached leaflet.
Kind regards

Subject: LLUK research - sexual
orientation and religion or belief
Hello Aaron
how are you? We met at the Leading Sexual Orientation Equality course in Manchester earlier in the year.
I am leading a research project for LLUK and The Forum for Sexual Orientation and Gender Identtity in Post School Education on the interface between equality on grounds of sexual orientation and religion or belief in the lifelong learning sector. I attach the official LLUK flyer for the project.
I spoke today to Sarah Riding of Blackpool College and Chris Hall of ECU and they both mentioned that they had been at the conference at Salford, and mentioned your name as someone who might be able to support this research. I do realise how busy you are, but may I ask if you would consider the following?
You will see that the flyer contains links to two online questionairres, hosted on the LLUK website - one for F&HE staff and the other for students. These are one of the key research instruments we are using. I would be very grateful if you could complete and return one and also circulate them to all those who might have an interest ,with encouragmenet to complete asnd return. The qu'res are live until 15th Jan (mad timescale!!). I imagine you have extensive contacts within your university and across other unis, so the wider you were able to distribute it the better. (could it go to all those who attended the conference?)
Secondly, we are keen to hold focus groups with staff and with students (separately) - and for both students and staff who are LGB and who are people of faith and belief. Would it be possible for this to happen at Salford University - before Christmas? Or, in early Jan? I would facilitate, and they would run from between 45 - 60 mins.
If you are able to help in any of these ways we will, of course, acknowledge this in the final report.
Can you let me know if any of this might be possible.
Many thanks - and very best wishes.
