Trans awareness staff training sessions

The University has previously provided trans awareness training for staff and postgraduate students.

We are currently investigating engaging a new provider to continue offering training to introduce key concepts and increase understanding of our trans community, terminology, and relevant legislation. Further information will be posted here when available.

Effectiveness of the training

We've been providing awareness training since October 2021. Sessions received an average overall rating of 4.5 out of 5 from attendees (in response to the question: ‘How would you rate the session overall?’).

Attendees were asked about their awareness of trans people and issues before attending the sessions, and gave an average score of 2.8 out of 5. Asked how the training had increased their awareness, they gave an average score of 4 out of 5.

Any future training will be similarly evaluated.
