Being an LGBT ally at home, at work and in the community

Allies within and out-with the LGBT community are crucial in promoting equality, safety and inclusion for all LGBT people. This module will discuss how you can create safe spaces (wherever that may be) for LGBT people by avoiding assumptions, removing tokenism and challenging discriminatory behaviour. You’ll learn how to confidently elevate the voices of LGBT people and link with legislation to formulate frameworks of support for LGBT people at home, at work and in the community.
