Gender Awareness Training

About the event: What is the difference between genderfluid and bigender? Is this the same as transgender? What does cisgender mean? How can we ensure the services we provide, the language we use and the resources we produce are inclusive of all genders?

This workshop will be delivered by Tony Griffin, Chair of Navajo Merseyside & Cheshire LGBTI Chartermark, a signifier of good practice, commitment and knowledge of the specific needs, issues and barriers facing lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people in Merseyside.
