Workplace Learning

Workplace Learning

Our workplace learning allows organisations to benefit from the proactive, educational approach we use to address prejudice within Scotland’s schools. Our inputs can also provide parents and carers with key information about LGBT Inclusive Education in Scotland.

Each session was extremely powerful, heartbreaking at points, thought provoking, and completely underscored the importance of taking proactive steps to address bias in all its forms. It really hit home the very real impact that language has in perpetuating bias, how this can escalate, and the devastating effect this can have.

Workplace Learning Input

Our workplace learning will provide an overview of prejudice, how it can manifest and escalate, and its impact on individuals in the workplace and wider society. This is provided by exploring the context of homophobia, biphobia and transphobia. This input includes the voices of LGBT people and allies first-hand, discussing their own experiences.

64.5% of employees have heard prejudicial language about LGBT people at work (2022/23)

This input increases understanding of the consequences of prejudice and stereotyping. Our evaluations show that 100% of session participants had a stronger understanding of what prejudice is, how it manifests, and how it can escalate.

We use interactive digital technology during each of these sessions to receive anonymised qualitative and quantitative feedback from participants, which is then provided to your organisation. This not only allows the company to evidence the benefit of these sessions, but also helps identify any particular learning opportunities within the workplace.

Additionally, we can deliver a bespoke input designed for parents and carers with children at school in Scotland. This will provide them with a detailed overview of the National Approach to LGBT Inclusive Education, and the space to ask questions, view resources, and discuss this work. Please ask us about a parent and carer engagement session in your initial enquiry if you would like to hold one.

It has been the most impactful training we have delivered to support us creating an LGBTQ+ inclusive workplace. People still speak about the original training 3 years ago and remember the key points of the training telling us it was the best training they have had and how they have changed how they speak to friends and understand the impact of what they thought was banter.
