Gender Dysphoria Special Interest Group
Building Effective Transgender Policy and Procedures
11th October 2023, 9.30am - 11.30am
Speaker: Dr Clare Ives
This session will consider how to build an effective transgender policy and then translate this into effective procedure. It will draw upon Dr Ives' experience within the education sector as well as her personal experience as a mother of a transgender child. Clare will cover the importance of language when discussing trans issues with those who identify as trans as well as their family and friends, and how to build a supportive, open culture whilst dealing with opposition with respect.
