It's Trans Awareness Week! 🏳️‍⚧️ A great time to brush up on knowing your rights at work. Precarious employment is still far too high for trans people in UK, fortunately, there are some legal protections in place to keep you safe at work. The GRA and the Equality Act keep trans employees safe from outing and discrimination at work. The GRA still needs a lot of improving to truly support trans people. #GRAReform Want to know more about #TransRights? Why not book a training with us?

"A quick look into trans rights at work. Know your rights!" 2. "Gender Recognition Act or GRA (2004) Under the GRA, you have protections from being outed at work. It's unlawful for your employer to tell anyone that you have a gender recognition certificate. It is also unlawful for your employer to require evidence (like a certificate) to offer you a job." 3. "Equality Act (2010) The Equality Act protects trans employees from any form of discrimination. It also enables trans employees to take time off work for reasons relating to their gender reassignment. Non-binary people are protected under this act!" #Trans #TransRightsNow #TransRightsAreHumanRights #EqualityAct #GenderRecognitionAct
