Transgender Awareness and Inclusion

Throughout the workshop, you will explore transgender from biological, social, and historical viewpoints, delve into the experiences of trans lives, and understand what is involved in the gender transition process. You will also learn about trans language, including pronouns and practical tips for engaging with transgender people, and review transgender history and the law, including the Gender Recognition Act and Equality Act. By the end of the workshop, you will have gained greater insight into the transgender community, the issues they face, and practical skills to promote inclusivity and support transgender colleagues. Apply the knowledge and skills acquired during the workshop to expand learning and make a commitment to positive change.

More about our Transgender Awareness and Inclusion Workshop

Are you struggling to understand the challenges faced by the transgender community? Do you want to promote a supportive and inclusive working culture?

Transgender rights have become a significant political issue, but the community remains poorly understood and often subject to misgendering, misinformation, and stereotypes.

Join our CPD-accredited online workshop designed to help individuals and organisations in the public, private, social purpose, voluntary, and community sectors improve the services and support delivered to transgender people and create inclusive workplaces.

For undertaking our Transgender Awareness and Inclusion, you will receive 6CPD Points. Once you have completed this course a certificate will be emailed to you. 

As a rule of thumb, one hour of professional development equates to 1 x CPD point. When calculating CPD for our events or courses, we exclude lunch and other breaks from these calculations. Administrative activities, such as registration, are also deducted. So, a full-day event or course lasting from 9am to 4pm will typically count for 5.5 hours or 5.5 x CPD points (allowing for 2.5 hours of breaks including lunch).

Where the programme includes networking opportunities, this attracts self-directed CPD at rate of 50%. For example, one hour of networking earns 0.5 CPD points. In the example above, the total CPD points for the event or course is 6 x CPD points (5.5 guided learning points, plus 0.5 self-directed points).
