Professional development

Workshops and consultation.

We are experts on all kinds of transgender issues, and provide consultation and training on stigma and discrimination, diversity and inclusion, sensitivity, and specific situations. Tailored to your needs.

We specialise in population health and the social determinants of health; working across a range of healthcare, education, and policy settings.

 

Workshops

We provide workshops, seminars, lectures, and presentations.

These can cover gender diversity, language, sensitivity, statistics, clinical practice, service provision, supporting transgender students or employees, or other topics.

Our professional development sessions are transgender led, both in terms of development and delivery. They are always developed by multiple members of our team, so you get quality content from trans women, trans men, and non-binary trans people, from multiple ethnic groups and walks of life.

We don’t just teach diversity, we practice it.

Please note: workshops are currently on hold.

Consultation

We can assist you in developing high quality research, writing inclusive workplace or other policies, review your documents, or advise you on specific situations.

We have a thorough understanding of legislation as it relates to trans people, including human rights law, employment law, and many other areas.

Our consultation is not simply ‘transgender sensitivity’, but can also include helping you to ensure that your business or organisation is operating within the current laws.

We are available to chat with you over the phone if you have a few questions, or you can book a more in depth consultation

“Your team was fabulous, the way they broke up the session was really engaging, people had been a been a bit bored after all the other presentations, but I saw it – they perked up and were really listening and thinking about how it applied to us in our work. I think we all learned a lot.”
