19 March 2016 at 07:53 AM Did you know that new research has discovered that despite progress, ongoing discrimination of lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBT) staff and students still persists in colleges and universities? How do you know what the experiences of your LGBT staff and students are like?
19 March 2016 at 07:46 AM Your staff might support trans students well, and the same might be said for students from ethnic minority backgrounds. But would your staff know how best to support a student who is both trans and from an ethnic minority background? Would new guidance help?
9 December 2014 at 07:30 PM In the last eight weeks I have supported three colleges to deal with quite serious incidents of student transphobic bullying. Could such incidents happen at your organisation? Do you know what to do if they did? What are you doing to prevent such incidents? Are your staff aware of the implications of recent research on homophobic, biphobic and transphobic bullying?
25 April 2014 at 02:14 PM A National Trans Manifesto has been produced as a collaborative document between 15 trans organisations across the UK. Do you know the three core statements that were unanimously agreed?
25 April 2014 at 02:07 PM GIRES (Gender Identity Research and Education Society) has published a free e-learning resource on transgender issues. How familiar are your staff with the concept of gender reassignment? Would they be confident in supporting a student who intends, is or has undergone gender reassignment? Would they benefit from taking a look at this free on-line training tool?
