This 2.5 hour online workshop is for staff at all levels (including managers and volunteers) who’d like to learn how to better include and support LGBTQ+ service users and colleagues.

The session is interactive, engaging and reflective and will provide a safe environment for participants to understand some of the challenges and inequalities that LGBTQ+ communities experience.
