This Pride month we want to shine a spotlight on YOU and how we as The College of Animal Welfare (CAW) can support you. We want you to feel safe and comfortable being yourself while you’re a part of the CAW Family and that’s why we’ve put together our Pride Guide; it’s full of information and resources.
Are you a CAW student – get involved!
Each lunch time during the second week in June (Monday 9th – to Friday 13th) we will be running pride-themed quizzes and activities!
- Huntingdon, Leeds and North London – lunch time activities in centre (12:15-1:15pm)
- BBB Virtual Classroom – If you do not come into one of the above centres, do not worry! We are also holding a quiz in the CAW Live virtual classroom during lunch breaks at the same time. Simply navigate to the student information section of the VLE and join!
What’s in the Pride Guide?
In the Pride Guide you’ll find key facts about Pride month, as well as some of the most common flags and terms you may see during Pride. We’ve also put together a guide to pronouns and why they’re important, as well as an article on the importance of positive allyship. Finally, we’ve included a section on LGBTQ+ support and resources, which includes support available from The College of Animal Welfare, support outside of college both nationwide and in the areas that most of our students are based and some LGBTQ+ creators and businesses to discover this Pride. You can view the Pride Guide here!
Suggestions? We’d love to hear them!
