This one-hour training session is suitable for any organisation that would like to understand more about the LGBT+ community and their particular challenges when interacting in the workplace.

The session takes a practical approach to protecting the people in and around your organisation from becoming the victims of assumptions/prejudice by providing attendees with an understanding of what it means to be LGBT+ in the workplace.
