UNISON Belfast
This half day workshop is being run in partnership with UNISON LGBT to celebrate LGBT Awareness Week and is open to all. It is targeted at youth workers, educational welfare officers, social workers but open to all. Families with trans children can find many barriers to education. Anxiety and trepidation can affect the young person, the family and also the teaching and support staff tasked with supporting the individual. Guidance developed by SAIL, Genderjam and Youthnet promote good practice in smoothing the transition of young people attending schools or youth organisations. This workshop will give an overview of trans, duty of care obligations and discuss how environments can be more trans inclusive. It will be delivered by SAIL / Genderjam.
