Transgender and Non-binary Awareness Training (Online)

Target audience: All staff and volunteers. No prior knowledge of LGB or transgender/ non-binary issues necessary.
This 2-hour, online session can be delivered via Zoom or MS Teams; for groups of up to 30 as an interactive session, or up to 300 as a webinar. We also offer a version with additional content geared towards medical professionals.
To book a session for your organisation, please send your enquiry to robynfoley@blgbt.org.
Alternatively, we run a small number of mixed sessions bookable by individual learners throughout the year. To be the first to hear about upcoming dates, our trans & non-binary awareness training mailing list is available here: http://eepurl.com/haM08D.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this session participants will have:

  • An understanding of the correct terminology and pronouns used to refer to transgender & non-binary people.
  • An increased awareness of the difficulties and inequalities affecting the transgender & non-binary community.
  • Increased cultural competency, to allow them to better understand and communicate with transgender & non-binary service users and colleagues.
  • An overview of their responsibilities towards transgender and non-binary co-workers and service users, as mandated by the Equality Act 2010 and Gender Recognition Act 2004.

What People Said About This Training

  • “It was really good to have a space where i didn’t feel silly for not already knowing all of this, and for it to be perfectly ok to ask questions or for clarification.”
  • I was so impressed and have learnt so much from the 2 hours. The handout training pack was also brilliant quality and will help me to maintain my knowledge and refer back to accurate information.
  • “Think this training should be mandatory for HCP’s [Healthcare Practitioners].”
  • “I have attended quite a few training sessions over zoom since lockdown happened and this has to be the best one i have attended so far. It was interesting, interactive, and very well planned out. I am a trainer within my current role and would say it has really given me food for thought after attending the training.”
