With an estimated 1% of the population falling somewhere on the broad “trans” spectrum, public facing organisations are likely to encounter a range of diverse trans people in the course of their professional work. Employers, too, need to be ready and able to welcome, include and support trans people as part of their workforce.

This session is a great place to start if you have limited time as it packs a lot in. It develops good levels of confidence in a relatively short session.

The core presentation will

• Set the wider context for trans identities – how sex, gender and sexual orientation interact
• Explore key terms and uses of language
• Offer basic grounding in the legislation around the rights and responsibilities around trans identities
• Begin to explore how an organisation can ensure it is being trans-inclusive
• Provide links to a wide range of resources

These shorter session is a good way to introduce the subject to a wider audience who need basic awareness, and/or where very limited time is available.

The Q&A provides an important interactive element, enabling people to bring the focus of the session onto the key issues that matter to them and particular questions they might have.
