Educational Action Challenging Homophobia (EACH) is a charitable organisation in the United Kingdom established "to challenge homophobia through education". Founded in 2002, EACH offers support services to young people and adults affected by homophobic, transphobic or transgender bullying or harassment and training to services including the police, education providers and organisations committed to creating a safer and more equal[citation needed] working and learning environment for lesbian, gay, bisexual and heterosexual people.
EACH has a freephone Actionline for young people affected by homophobia nationwide and for all age groups in Bath and North-East Somerset, Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire.[1] A dedicated support services coordinator works with the targets of homophobic incidents or crimes.[2]
An Online Reporting facility received its official launch in London and Avon and Somerset Constabulary's Headquarters, providing young people nationwide (or their parent or teacher for example) or an adult anywhere in the West of England the opportunity to report homophobic bullying or harassment.[citation needed]
Consultancy and training is delivered for the Department for Education, the Education, Health, Libraries, Housing and Fire services plus the Criminal Justice System, local government and other statutory and third sector agencies, on sexuality and homophobia issues.
In 2006, Surrey Police commissioned EACH to undertake research and produce a report on homophobic crime across its county.[citation needed] 31 of the 43 UK police forces plus the Crown Prosecution Service and associated professional bodies receive or have received training from EACH's Executive Director, who is included within the National Policing Improvement Agency's (NPIA) Expert Advisers' Database as an investigative trainer. Most recently EACH was invited to join Avon and Somerset Crown Prosecution Service's Hate Crime Scrutiny Panel: the body which assesses the outcomes of hate crime trials.
In 2007 the now Department for Education commissioned EACH and Stonewall to create the web-based guidance to all schools - "Safe to Learn: Homophobic Bullying" which has generated considerable interest in our training opportunities from Local Authorities eager to see homophobic bullying challenged in their localities. EACH was subsequently invited to contribute to "Safe to Learn: Bullying Out of School" and "Safe to Learn: Gender-related Bullying" ~ the final guidances in the suite designed by the DCSF for schools everywhere. Most recently EACH has contributed to the Department's advice to schools on preventing and tackling bullying.
