Safeguarding the Trans Community

5 December 1-3pm – book here

This two hour briefing session aims to increase awareness of issues, risks and needs faced by the trans population as a community.

By the end of this briefing you will be able to:

    • understand how to identify the support needs of trans people
    • develop an understanding of how to safeguard people with these characteristics
    • understand the inter-sectionality within the context of the trans community

This session is presented as part of the Learning Together to Safeguard the City Week where Brighton & Hove Local Safeguarding Children Board (LSCB), the Safeguarding Adults Board (SAB) and the Safe in The City Partnership Board come together to raise awareness of safeguarding issues and promote how we can best work together to protect, and improve outcomes for, the most vulnerable in our society.

The aim of this week is to reveal and debate some of the most important issues in our city which affect individuals, their families and the wider community, as well as exploring the responsibilities of professionals in their everyday work and their contribution in keeping people safe and well.

All sessions can be booked through the Brighton & Hove Learning Gateway: learning.brighton-hove.gov.uk
