Over the past few years, we have seen an increase in demand for awareness of LGBTQIA+ inclusion in the workplace. LGBT Britain (2018) study highlighted that 35% of staff have hidden their LGBTQIA+ identity at work for fear of discrimination, making it clear that there is still work to be done. As the public conversation becomes more complex and nuanced, this can often leave organisations and leaders feeling overwhelmed by the ever-evolving language and terminology. 

This course is designed to assist leaders, advocates and allies of all kinds in being confident in both their own understanding of this topic and the actions they take. Delivered by Tash Koster-Thomas, who brings her own lived experience as a Queer woman of colour to assist delegates in their understanding. 

Delegates will gain an understanding of current language and terminology as well as the challenges faced within the community. They will have the opportunity to explore examples of best practice, enabling them to create action plans as well as gaining the tools to challenge non-inclusive behaviour.
