Foundation ½ day
What everyone needs to know about the experience and needs of
lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.
This module is aimed at individuals who have limited knowledge or
experience of LGBT issues and those who require refresher training. It’s
suitable for staff, trustees and volunteers with a wide range of responsibilities.
The training explores with individuals what their understanding of sexuality
and gender identities is and how this knowledge is constructed through a
range of institutional experiences; the family, the law, the church and the
media. It explains how LGBT people and wider society respond to these
powerful messages. In the second half, the emphasis shifts to modern
understandings of sexuality and gender identity and the role that gay
communities serve today. It ends with a quiz to test the learning and a
certificate presentation.
Legal ½ day
What everyone needs to know about legal protections for lesbian, gay,
bisexual and transgender people.

of understanding in the legal protections for LGBT people. It’s essential
training for managers and policy officers in a wide range of private, public and
voluntary sector organisations, as well as staff with specialist responsibilities,
such as HR managers, compliance and equality officers.
The training gives delegates a good understanding of the provisions of
the Employment Equality (Sexual Orientation) Regulations, the Gender
Recognition Act, the Equality Act, the Civil Partnerships Act and other legal
