REF:66-2002-2873624 - Pronoun pins

Your comment: Train staff to look for and respect pronoun pins. The Su provides them but there is no point in wearing them if you still constantly get misgendered

Our response: 

We ask that all staff do the online Equality and Diversity, and Unconscious Bias training modules. We have also published our Strategic Equality Plan 2020-2024 which has 5 strands, one of which is to ‘Ensure our staff are effectively trained in equality, diversity, and inclusion issues’ – which will involve a lot of face to face training being rolled out over the next four years, covering all the protected characteristics, including gender identity. We have so far delivered face to face training on ‘Dignity and respect in the learning environment’, ‘Bystander Intervention’ training, and ‘Is it alright to say? Equalities language’ training.
