We have to ensure children and young people are heard, validated and included. ‘We recommend schools do not implement this draft, non-statutory guidance. Weencourage teachers to stand for inclusion, not exclusion.’ Inclusion Education Just Like Us #educationalleadership #lgbtqia #mentalhealth

Interesting webinar this evening from TNB Education. It covered key points and highlighted concerns about the draft guidance on ‘Gender Questioning’ children, not least that the DfE’s own lawyers question the validity and lawfulness of the guidance, which could leave schools open to litigation should they follow it. #keepschoolssafe

“Are women a protected class?” Employees, whether they are entry-level or members of the C-suite, are protected from discrimination in the workplace on the basis of sex or gender. If you believe you’re being treated unfairly for your membership in a protected class, contact Bantle & Levy. https://ow.ly/9wgx50QYU4V #BantleLevy #EmploymentLawyers #EmploymentLaw #Gender #GenderDiscrimination #Discrimination #Harassment #Attorneys #EmployeeRights #NYC #NewYork

We've all heard people panic about #gender and the use of public restrooms. Today, I entered a #Starbucks restroom where a urinal and cross-gender toilet were clean and ready for use. The door locked easily. Yet even public restrooms designated for people of female gender have privacy stalls. What's the worry? I've been in public restrooms where fathers bring their children of all genders to do their business. Fears created over enabling #transgender people to use the public restroom suitable to their need are nothing more than #prejudice and #discrimination. Bigotry in restroom policy is no more principled than blocking people from restroom use based on #race, as happened in recent US #history. Change is good. Change is honest. Change leads to goodness and so-called "woke" policy delivers #civilrights for everyone. We don't want to go backward on issues like these. It's time to grow up and treat everyone with respect. https://lnkd.in/gtKGPQTz

Today is Lesbian Awareness Day! It's an opportunity to celebrate and recognise the contributions of lesbian individuals in our society. Traditionally, the legal sector hasn't been known for its diversity, but it's incredible to see these women feeling like they can be their authentic selves in the workplace. Check out this inspiring article about the experiences of these empowering women in the workforce: https://lnkd.in/e9wXCk8n #LesbianAwarenessDay #DiversityInLaw #AuthenticityAtWork

New restaurants, public toilets, shopping centres and offices in England will be required to have separate male and female toilets under proposed legislation. The law will affect new and non-residential buildings as part of a push "ending the rise" of gender-neutral toilets. A consultation highlighted concerns from women, elderly and disabled people who felt unfairly disadvantaged by toilets being converted into gender neutral facilities sharing cubicles and sinks. But transgender rights groups argue gender-neutral toilets can protect trans people from discrimination. How do you feel about this new ruling coming into play? #getlegallyspeaking #learnthelaw #law #genderneutral #knowyourrights

If an employee becomes publicly open about their gender orientation after being hired or remains private about their orientation, discrimination against them remains illegal. Have you been transferred to another department after disclosing your orientation? Do not stand for your employer’s mistreatment.
