As we reflect on LGBT History Month, it's important to commit to the continuation of inclusivity policies year round. LGBT History Month is a great opportunity for reflection and shared learning and understanding. But truly inclusive workplaces require more than symbolic gestures. Going forward, organisations should be focusing on developing and enforcing policies that ensure zero tolerance for discrimination. 🚫 How are you continuing your support into March and beyond? #InclusiveWorkplaces #DiversityAndInclusion #LGBTHistoryMonth

While some progress has been made, many studies show that discrimination and barriers persist for LGBT individuals in the workplace. Such as… Almost one in five LGBT staff (18%) have been the target of negative comments or conduct from work colleagues in the last year because they're LGBT. One in eight trans people (12%) have been physically attacked by customers or colleagues in the last year because of being trans.

Across many of the anti-LGBTQ+ attacks that have surged through legislatures in recent years is the tactic of preemption – which limits the authority of local governments and lawmakers to pass measures protecting LGBTQ+ individuals and families. From anti-transgender medical care bans to efforts to censor inclusive curriculum to bans on drag performance, abusive preemption runs through the heart of this barrage – and together, we must resist these efforts.

Happy LGBTQ+ History Month! 🏳️🌈 In this reflective article, Rosie Hazeldine takes us back to a time before 2003 when Section 28 was still in effect. She reminds us that a significant portion of today's workforce was educated under this legislation. Whether we were aware of it or not, this impacted what we were taught, what attitudes and behaviours were left unchallenged, and how we are doing now, long after Section 28 has been consigned to history. Section 28 of the Local Government Act 1988 was introduced by Margeret Thatcher’s government. It stated that local authorities, and by extension schools, “should not intentionally promote homosexuality or publish materials to promote homosexuality”. In the spirit of promoting inclusivity, Rosie, who praises settle for their #EDI efforts, shares some best practices: 🗣 Don't assume someone's gender or sexuality. 🌈 Embrace gender-neutral language, especially in policies. 👩🏽🎤 Ditch formal dress codes for a more comfortable environment. 🧰 Add pronouns to your email signature to respect diverse gender identities. 🎊 Celebrate LGBTQ+ milestones #LGBTQHistoryMonth #DiversityandInclusion #section28 #housingassociations https://lnkd.in/e7rEvrS3
