Student Support and Wellbeing are working with Gendered Intelligence to deliver this session, which is open to all staff at UCL involved in supporting students.

‘Trans Awareness: The Basics’ is an entry-level session that introduces the key ideas and information people need to know about trans-related matters.

The training is 105 minutes and delivered live via Zoom.

The session will:

  • Explain what ‘trans’ means and describe the diversity of those who might use the term
  • Introduce key concepts crucial to understanding trans people
  • List the main legislation relating to trans identities
  • Outline ways an organisation can work towards being trans-inclusive
  • Provide links to further resources and help 

After attending this session you will

  • understand the appropriate language
  • be aware of issues related to trans people
  • understand best practice when supporting a student who is trans 

Who should attend

You should attend if you are a member of UCL staff who has any contact with students.

Personal Tutors will find this session particularly useful.
