Transgender & Non-Binary Awareness Training Session
Whilst the wider diversity model does not always result in a working understanding of Transgender & Non-Binary, Trans Aware Training focuses entirely on the subject from a Gender Identity perspective specifically.
Delivering a full understanding of Trans & Non-Binary within a lively and interactive setting.
On completion of this session you will recieve a "We are Trans Aware"certificate on parchment paper and if your full roster of front line staff attends you will be able to use our "WE ARE TRANS AWARE" jpg to let others know that your company/organisation is Trans Aware.
We work with local organisations and have trained MIND, CAHMS,Cleveland Police to name but a few. We have also delivered sessions for the 2017 NCS programme.
We usually deliver on site though we understand there are many smaller bodies that may simply need key members of staff to be trained or there may be new employees of places we have already delivered to.
To serve this need we offer training sessions on a pay per seat basis at our home of Gloucester House in the heart of Stockton-on-Tees. Very reasonably priced tickets available on a first come first served basis.
Some staff report a feeling of being on eggshells when dealing with those who identify on the trans spectrum.
Our training sessions & ongoing support aim to remove that feeling. most staff are generally not specifically trained in this area though committing to the responsibilities related to the PSED and Equality Act we hope to be able to assist in this regard.
Light refreshments served from 10.30 for an 11am start. Session lasts approx 2 hours.
The aims of our training are as follows:
To provide a full understanding of Transgender & Non-Binary, specifically from a Gender Identity perspective.
To understand the difficulties facing people who are gender variant in relation to life experiences generally and engaging with the public sector in particular.
To be able to engage more effectively with Trans & Non-Binary staff, services users & the general public.
To be better equipped to help to tackle prejudice and promote understanding within the workplace and the wider community.
To gain a practical understanding of responsibilities within the Equality Act 2010 including the Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED) and the Gender Recognition Act 2004.
Light refreshments provided.
