Gender and Sexuality: Diversity and Inclusion - ONE DAY COURSE
Event description
Improving inclusion and customising support
A person’s sexual orientation and gender identity can have a profound impact on their experiences and their service needs.
Drawing on a strong evidence base, along with the direct experiences of service users, this course is designed to assist service providers to understand diverse needs and improve service delivery for LGBTIQ+ communities.
