People belonging to the LGBTQI+ community often still experience discrimination, exclusion and barriers to feeling safe, valued and able to be themselves at work. Assumptions can influence everyday language,behaviour, policies and decisions -sometimes without people recognising their impact.
Developed by people from LGBTQI+communities, our LGBTQI+ Equality and Inclusion course helps participants recognise these experiences and build the knowledge, confidence and practical skills to promote equality, safety and inclusion.
The session creates space for thoughtful discussion and equips participants to challenge discrimination, demonstrate meaningful allyship and contribute to a more inclusive organisational culture.
Depending on the session length and your organisation’s needs, the course can include:
- LGBTQI+ history and current issues affecting LGBTQI+ communities in the UK and internationally, where relevant
- LGBTQI+ identities and inclusive terminology
- The impact of discrimination, exclusion and bias, including the potential effects on mental and physical health
- Recognising and addressing heteronormativity, assumptions and unconscious bias
- Relevant legislation and organisational policy
- Practical ways to challenge inappropriate language, behaviour and discrimination and demonstrate true allyship
- Promoting LGBTQI+ equality and inclusion in your workplace
Participants will consider a range of lived experiences and explore practical ways to strengthen inclusion within their own roles and the organisation. They will leave better equipped to contribute to an environment where everyone feels valued, included and treated fairly.
This course is suitable for all staff and can be tailored to the needs of your organisation, department or team.
