ZOOM EVENT VIA REGISTRATION ONLY
Join Nathan Nalla and our panel of lived experience trans+ rights experts to learn about what your organisation can do to become and remain trans+ inclusive in the midst of confusion, fear and hostility.
We’ll discuss the EHRC guidance following the Supreme Court ruling on the definition of sex in the Equality Act 2010. We’ll learn about the impact of the ruling and guidance on trans+ and nonbinary people. We’ll explore the practical solutions organisations and individuals can take when supporting trans+ staff, customers and other stakeholders.
The webinar will include a panel conversation with trans+ rights activists and experts of trans+ experience to speak about trans+ inclusion in a workplace context.
