Member Organisations of the Task Force: • Council of International Schools • Council of British International Schools • Academy of International School Heads • U.S. Department of State, Office of Overseas Schools • Association for the Advancement of International Education • International Schools Services • ECIS CIS is the leader in requiring police background check documentation for Educator and Leadership Candidates as part of the overall effort to ensure effective screening.

  • Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE No: 492/2021 Date: 28th June 2021 Statement by the Minister for Equality the Hon. Samantha Sacramento MP - Pride Month 2021 Today, 28th June is the anniversary of the Stonewall Riots or Stonewall Uprising as it is also called, an event that happened in New York in 1969. Many people may already know the meaning of this historic event and what its eventual consequences were. However, I think it is still important to repeat this for the benefit of people who do not know, so that they can appreciate the importance of Pride Month in Gibraltar and why our Government has introduced different initiatives to commemorate it. In the early hours of the 28th June in 1969, the New York Police Department raided the Stonewall Inn, a gay club in the Greenwich Village in New York. During this raid the Police roughly mistreated and removed patrons from the club. As a result, there were 6 days of violent clashes with the police. This event proved to be a catalyst for gay rights movements across the USA and in other places around the world. It is evident that LGBTQ+ people have suffered a great deal in the past and continue to be victimised today in many parts of the world. This year, to mark the start of the Pride Month, HM Government flew LGBTQ+ Pride flags at different locations, including the land frontier and at No 6 Convent Place on the 1st June. The flags are again flying today to commemorate the Stonewall Riots. The Moorish Castle was also brightly lit up with the rainbow colours on the 1st of June and again will be lit up this evening.

    PRESS RELEASE No: 544/2021 Date: 21st July 2021 Budget Address 2021-2022 - Deputy Chief Minister, The Hon Dr Joseph Garcia CMG MP Mr Speaker, INTRODUCTION It is good to see this House meeting today in order to debate the Estimates of Revenue and Expenditure. The events of the last fifteen months have shown that nothing can be taken for granted. Not even this traditional, set-piece annual fixture. Mr Speaker, this is my 23rd budget. Thirteen have been in Opposition. Ten as a member of the Government - one of which failed to materialise in the usual way as a consequence of the pandemic. COVID-19 Mr Speaker, we have seen how a virus first detected in China at the end of 2019 has now taken millions of lives, destroyed families everywhere, decimated economies across the planet and quite simply turned the world upside down. Deputy Chief Minister • HM Government of Gibraltar • 6 Convent Place • Gibraltar GX11 1AA t +350 20059267 f +350 20059271 e [email protected] w www.gibraltar.gov.gi The pandemic has challenged everything that we took for granted. The simple right to leave our homes. The right to meet who we like when we want to. The right to gather in hundreds or thousands. The ability to travel smoothly and simply. The right to open the doors of our businesses. Our relationship with our loved ones and the elderly in particular. These multiple challenges have complicated our existence. They have thrust to the forefront of the debate the delicate balancing act between freedom and the protection of life.
