This online interactive session is designed to build the foundations of knowledge - helping freelancers, businesses and organisations who want to support teams to build more equitable and inclusive policies and practices for trans, non-binary and gender minoritised clients, customers and service users.

Drawing upon Andro and Eve’s extensive experience in meeting the needs of the LGBTQIA community in creating safe and inclusive events, this session covers;

Context. Where are we at with Trans Rights in the UK?
Terminology. Words have impact. We explore definitions and when to use.
Best practice. Looking at case studies and practical steps to implement, in order to be inclusive of transgender and gender diverse people.
Sharing experiences. Stories help us make sense of the world. We use practical exercises to help develop understanding.

Topics covered include, language, intersectionality, non binary identities, gender in a global context, feminism, LGBTQ+ herstory and transgender health and equality and the law.

Learning Outcomes:

Feel more confident in your knowledge of the experiences of people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning (LGBTQ+).
Understand what gender inclusive language is and when to use it.
Learn about LGBTQ+ histories, rights and current legislation and understand what this might mean for trans and non-binary people living in the UK today.
Explore practical steps to help build gender inclusive practices and spaces, including by being an ‘ally’ to trans, non-binary and gender minoritised people.

Each participant will be given their own resource sheet with content covered in the session along with further advice and resources.

Who is the training for?

This training is suitable for individuals, employees, freelancers, managers, and HR professionals who want to contribute to a more inclusive and equitable workplace. Whatever stage of learning you are at, this training will provide valuable insights and practical strategies.

Why this training:

In the UK, hard won LGBTQ+ rights are being pushed back against. Creating an inclusive workplace where your team are supported is an important way to ensure these rights are protected. It’s also good for business. Research shows that diverse and inclusive workplaces are more innovative, productive, and have higher levels of employee morale.
