Consultancy and Training

Times are a-changing!

The past decade has seen the introduction of a wide range of legislation in relation to sexual orientation.  As the Equalities Bill takes effect, it will become even more essential that organisations give full consideration to the needs and rights of lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) people within their communities.

Estimates of the number of LGB people vary between 6 - 10% of the population.  Whilst introducing sexual orientation monitoring remains a sensitive challenge, over time, it is the only meaningful way that organisations will be able to properly assess the true number of LGB people accessing their services.

Furthermore, not only will organisations need to determine that they are complying with legislation, but for many, it will be increasingly important to develop best practice, both as an employer and as a service provider.  The most successful organisations will be those that can attract and retain the best staff, whilst planning and providing services that are welcoming and appropriate for the diverse communities around them.

Whilst some organisations are already making significant progress, for many, this is a new and possibly daunting prospect.  As a result, the LGF has launched a range of consultancy and training packages designed to help organisations become exemplars in sexual orientation equality.

As well as providing generic equality and diversity training, we also specialise in sexual orientation monitoring and LGB issues within workforce development and services improvement.
