What does this workshop cover?
Transgender rights have become an urgent political issue. But the transgender community is very diverse and poorly understood after years of misgendering, misinformation and stereotyping.
Our training is aimed at those working in the public, private, social purpose and voluntary and community sectors. It is relevant to administrators, practitioners, staff and managers. The overall aim of the course is to help organisations improve the services they deliver to transgender people.
This 3 hour workshop includes:
- What is Trans? – trans people from a biological, social and historical viewpoint;
- Trans lives – What is involved in gender transition, and what issues do trans people face during and after the process?
- Using the right words – A guide to the complexities of trans language; and
- Trans people and the law – the Gender Recognition Act, the Equality Act and more.
This interactive workshop will be hosted by two co-facilitators and will have no more than 25 participants, to ensure you get the most out of joining a training course with us, and the session remains engaging and has plenty of time for questions.
These workshops take place online via Microsoft Teams.
After completing the workshop, certificates are available on request to celebrate the learning you’ve achieved with us.
Please note, places cannot be cancelled once booked, and we are unable to offer refunds.
What are Open Access Workshops?
This new offer is designed for individuals to access our standard workshops to support their learning and professional development. This new option will supplement our existing standard training for teams which can be found on our website (https://www.diversitytrust.org.uk/training/).
Our Open Access Workshops have been crafted with smaller organisations in mind; to make our training accessible to those who might not have capacity to book our standard sessions for their whole team, but would still like to up-skill members of staff in certain areas.
Keep an eye on the ‘Events’ page of our website to see when the latest Open Access Workshops become available to book through Eventbrite.
