The unit ends with information about Ofsted requirements in terms of LGBTQ+ being taught in education.
- Unit 3 – Transgender awareness – This unit will give you a clear understanding of what the terms ‘gender variance’, ‘transitioning’ and ‘gender reassignment’ mean. You will take into consideration how transitioning can take place and what rights individuals have when they have reassigned their gender.
- Unit 4 – Discrimination faced by trans individuals – In this unit you will consider some of the key terms that are related to discrimination and how these relate specifically to trans individuals. You will examine the short and long-term impacts of discrimination and what they can be, as well as studying a case study at the end of this unit which will highlight a case of direct discrimination and one trans individual’s victory against a local business.
- Unit 5 – Establishing inclusive environments and managing intolerance – In the final unit you will learn the importance of building and maintaining positive engagements in order to bring about cohesive societies. You will consider what is meant by discrimination, how employers have to adhere to anti-discrimination legislation and how they effectively manage harassment and bullying in the workplace.
