PLAN-ning Ahead, is a podcast series by Warwick PLAN's magazine, Planorama. We explore themes of being LGBTQ+ in the workplace, and how to 'get ahead' with advice and experience from LGBTQ+ leaders, CEOs and other inspiring individuals from some of the UK's leading firms. 42% of LGBT+ school pupils have been bullied in the past year, double the number of non-LGBT+ pupils. 1 in 5 LGBT+ pupils didn’t tell anyone they’d been bullied, with only 33% of LGBT+ pupils aware of a clear process for reporting anti-LGBT+ bullying in their school. These were some of the headline figures released by the LGBTQ+ charity ‘Just Like Us’ in November of last year, and today I’m joined by the charity’s Chief Executive, Dominic Arnall. Dominic has a wealth of experience in the charity sector, working with prestigious organisations such as the Shaw Trust, Stonewall, Mind and their LGBTQ+ mental health branch, ‘Mind Out’ before taking up his current role as CEO at Just Like Us.
