Civil Service Live 2023

a:gender will be attending Civil Service Live in several locations in June and July 2023. CS Live events are attended by a wide range of Civil Servants and are a great opportunity to network and find out more about the work going on across Government.


We will be attending in the following locations:

  • Newcastle - 7 June

  • Glasgow - 15 June

  • Manchester - 15 July

  • Cardiff - 13 July

  • London - 19 July

​​

You can find out more and register to attend on the CS Live website.

​

a:gender events and panel discussions – available on request

a:gender are available to speak at panels and events to provide the perspectives and experiences of our members.

 

Topics we might typically cover are:

  • Understanding what the terms ‘trans’, ‘intersex’ and ‘nonbinary’ mean,

  • How to use appropriate terminology and language,

  • Recognising the issues that trans and intersex colleagues might face in the workplace and wider society, and

  • Exploring how to support trans and intersex colleagues in the workplace.

 

These can be provided to any group in any department or public body in the Civil Service.

​

Civil servants of all grades and roles may benefit from one or more of these sessions, but we suggest that the following staff may find them particularly helpful:

  • line managers,

  • senior leaders,

  • HR, security, communications and IT personnel,

  • Diversity & Inclusion champions,

  • bullying and harassment advisors, and

  • LGBTI+ network leads.

​

You can request an awareness session by contacting agender@homeoffice.gov.uk and giving some details of the department, intended audience, and what you hope to gain from the sessions and we will get in touch.
