Working with 176 schools within the city of Manchester the Exceeding Expectations initiative continues to make progress towards protecting and promoting the rights of all Manchester children.
Having made great progress, getting into the schools and raising the profile of the initiative, we are now looking at how we can offer virtual support. Integrated into the Exceeding Expectations site will be a micro-site called ok2bgay.net. This is a section of the site designed by young people for young people of all sexual orientations. There will be a forum for young people to share their experiences, and the opportunity for the young people to sign up to a newsletter which will list up coming events by other agencies.
