Transgender Awareness

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 course 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
• Trans people and the law – the Gender Recognition Act, the Equality Act and more
