Andrew Moffat is a teacher and author of the No Outsiders curriculum, a teaching resource that educates students about the characteristics protected by the Equality Act 2010.
It teaches children about all types of equality covered by the Act - such as protecting people from discrimination about age, race, disability, gender, sexuality. It includes inclusive education about LGBT+ families through the use of picture books.
No Outsiders was met by religious protests at Andrew’s school, Parkfield Community School in Birmingham. Andrew received homophobic abuse and threats during the protests, and was advised by the police to do a risk assessment of his travel arrangements from school.
In this second part of episodes dedicated to LGBT+ education, the openly gay teacher tells host Joe Ali how he has adapted his No Outsiders curriculum to religious communities, changing the language from celebration to acceptance.
Andrew was awarded an MBE in 2017 for his work in equality and diversity in education. In 2019, he was listed in Attitude Pride Awards, awarded Pink News Role Model of the Year, and named Hero of the Year in the European Diversity Awards. He was also a finalist at the Global Teacher Prize.
The Out Crowd - An LGBTQ podcast is a Laudable production for Reach. It is presented by Joe Ali, and it is produced and edited by Daniel J. McLaughlin.
The title music is Sunny Travel by Nico Staf. The photo of Andrew Moffat is by Darren Quinton/Birmingham Live.
