MORE ABOUT OUR LGBTQIA+ WORKSHOP

Over the past few years, we have seen an increase in demand for awareness of
LGBTQIA+ inclusion in the workplace. LGBT Britain (2018) study highlighted that
35% of staff have hidden their LGBTQIA+ identity at work for fear of
discrimination, making it clear that there is still work to be done. As the
public conversation becomes more complex and nuanced, this can often leave
organisations and leaders feeling overwhelmed by the ever-evolving language and
terminology.

experience and intersectional identity as a Black queer woman to continue the
focus on diversity and inclusion in society and in the workplace.
 
She provides valuable insight into how to remove barriers associated with
diversity and constructively ensure that opportunities can be accessed with
equity in both the workplace and wider in our local and global communities. She
is also co-founder of ‘Breaking the Distance’, a unique LGBTQIA+ travel and
relationship blog, (alongside her wife, Marthe). Breaking the Distance aims to
educate and promote positive LGBTQIA+ visibility, whilst also providing a safe
space for people to be their authentic selves.

Assembly, Tash’s responsibilities lie in developing a working and actionable
guideline for advancing EDI and creating safe spaces within the coworking
industry. Originally trained as a Musical Theatre performer, Tash’s style of
delivery is engaging, fun and positive, as she focuses on providing information
in a way that allows participants to reflect and relate the content to their own
lives. She is a believer in the power of story-telling and often incorporates
her own lived experience into her delivery.

How many CPD points are awarded for this course?

For undertaking our LGBTQIA+ Inclusion for Advocates course, you will receive
6CPD Points. Once you have completed this course a certificate will be emailed
to you. 

How are CPD points calculated?

As a rule of thumb, one hour of professional development equates to 1 x CPD
point. When calculating CPD for our events or courses, we exclude lunch and
other breaks from these calculations. Administrative activities, such as
registration, are also deducted. So, a full-day event or course lasting from 9am
to 4pm will typically count for 5.5 hours or 5.5 x CPD points (allowing for 2.5
hours of breaks including lunch).

Where the programme includes networking opportunities, this attracts
self-directed CPD at rate of 50%. For example, one hour of networking earns 0.5
CPD points. In the example above, the total CPD points for the event or course
is 6 x CPD points (5.5 guided learning points, plus 0.5 self-directed points).

Do you have any live events that are similar?

Yes, we have multiple The Fifth National LGBTQIA+ Inclusion In The Workplace
Conference 2024 conferences held up and down the country.
