King’s is launching ‘Trans Matters: Guidance for Staff and Students’

Diversity and Inclusion have organised an evening at King’s to provide guidance for trans students

| UPDATED

As this week marks Trans Awareness Week, King's is launching Trans Matters: Guidance for Staff and Students "as a practical guide for any individual at King's who wish to take, or have taken, steps to present themselves in a gender different to their gender assigned at birth."

Today at 18:30pm, a panel full of key members of the LGBT+ Staff Network to Jacqui Gavin, the Diversity and Inclusion Lead for the Department for International Trade, will discuss the importance of recognising transgender students and their needs.

As a hugely important topic, KCL feel this can benefit a number of students who may need guidance as they aim to provide a "safe and inclusive environment where everyone is able to achieve their potential."
