Training, Resources and Guidance
Guidance
We have produced updated Guidance for managers on supporting LGB Staff
Updated guidance and new training for supporting trans* Staff and students was consulted on and published by Equality, Diversity & Inclusion in 2022:
Supporting Trans* Staff and Students
Training and development
There is a whole suite of LGBT+ inclusive leadership and development training which can be seen here (PS staff) and here (academic staff).
You can also look at our online module Supporting Trans Staff Training
Training Resources
We have a number of DVD resources which can be loaned from the unit. DVD resources are a way of raising awareness of a particular area and can be shown to a group all at once. Each DVD come with a resource pack so that additional training can be offered. Currently we have 3 titles available:
- Visibility Matters - 'Jan's Coming Out' - looking at Lesbian 'coming out'
- Visibility Matters - 'Talking Transgender'
- Age Concern - 'Gateway to Heaven' - looking at LGBT and age
If you wish to loan any of these, please contact equalityanddiversity@manchester.ac.uk
Additionally, we can access a wide range of LGBT+ films and documentaries via Kanopy streaming. It is a University wide resource and has hundreds of LGBT+ related titles (CAS Authentication required)
