Trans Allies Programme

This full-day programme will equip you with the knowledge, tools and confidence to champion trans inclusion at work.

By attending our trans allies programme, you will:

• Develop an in-depth understanding of trans identities as well as the everyday experiences of the trans community
• Explore what a trans inclusive workplace looks like and examples of good practice from Stonewall, our clients and partners
• Understand what it means to be a trans ally and how you can work to create a more trans-inclusive workplace

We’ll cover a range of topics including:

• Understanding terminology around trans inclusion
• Using inclusive language
• Understanding more about identity in the workplace
• How privilege shapes our experiences at work
• Understanding trans people’s lived experiences
• What a trans inclusive workplace looks like
• The barriers to trans inclusion in your workplace
• The history and power of trans allyship
• Defining trans allyship and putting your allyship into practice
• Challenging transphobia at work
• Creating change in the workplace
• Collectively creating solutions to your workplace challenges

This programme is for anyone who wants to better understand trans inclusion in order to take practical action to create a more inclusive workplace.

This programme is designed for people who don’t identify as trans, if you’re a trans person looking to be an ally to other members of the community then our LGBTQ+ Allies Programme might be a better fit. 

Everyone has a role to play in creating a trans inclusive workplace and this programme is likely to be useful to most members of your team. The content is best suited to those who are in a position to create change and to inspire others to do the same. We’d suggest that those working in HR, EDI, network groups, senior leaders and members of a champions or ambassadors programme for inclusion in the workplace would get a lot from this programme.

If you’re just starting out on trans inclusion work, this programme will give you a broad understanding of what a trans inclusive workplace looks like and can help you create a roadmap for this work.
