This Padlet has been created to collate and share resources that colleagues from our trans inclusion community of practice would like to share. Feel free to add resources and there is also the opportunity for you to ask questions or add comments for colleagues to respond to. Scroll from left to right to view all the sections containing information.

Use the + symbol under the heading that feels most relevant to the thing you are uploading. Then you can enter a brief description to accompany the resource.

You can add comments to individual resources or if you have a general question regarding the heading topic you could add these questions as seperate posts using the process above.

This is an internal document that Energise me are using to guide our behaviours and actions moving forward.

Kelly would love feedback on how it reads and how this can be used.

This was created by a local organisation in Bedfordshire as they provided it as guidance for staff of the Leisure company where their trans inclusive swim sessions were being held. They have given permission for me to share it as long as they are credited where it is used. It utilised the Swim England guidance but they also made some addition and amendments.

Trans inclusion in sport showcase padlet

This Padlet was created as a resource for a research showcase that took place in June concerned with how we create positive experiences in physical activity for trans young people. It came at it from the lense of education as well as community sport. There are resources, possible contacts and the questions that attendees asked accompanied by answers from the speakers.

These slides were put together by Alex Baird from the University of Bedfordshire and myself. We delivered this to my internal AP team, some of the directors of our host organisation and some colleagues of Alex. I think this was the penultimate version, so there may have been a few final tweaks or additions.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Movement and sport are for everyone. For GM Moving, that means supporting and celebrating LGBTQ+ inclusion across Greater Manchester. This Pride month, we’re highlighting the incredible work of Manchester Laces, a club that’s showing how football can be truly welcoming and inclusive. We had a chat with the team to see what they do, how they are using inclusive design in sport, and their advice for other clubs.

Active Lives for All: LGBTQ+ communities – we all have a role to play.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
People across Greater Manchester are on a mission so everyone can lead active lives. We know that if you’re part of a marginalised community, there are bigger barriers stopping you from being active. So, it’s important that we all take time to understand these barriers and what we can do to help.

Active Partners Trust - revised EDI policy 

# data[].attributes.body
We decided to update our EDI policy so it was more explicit in how it supports the needs of trans and non-binary people. Previously the policy had no specific mention to this community. It now references gender identity, names and pronouns and transitioning support. We felt we could bring this into our existing policy rather than creating a new standalone trans and non-binary policy - but there still feels value in either way and maybe its down to the organisation about what feels right to them. We've also sought out lived experience to support this process.

The policy is due to be signed off officially by the leadership team soon - after that i plan to update the whole team on the policy, making references to the new elements and their importance.

Thanks to Emily and Jess from GM Moving for their guidance on this - they encouraged us to consider our internal policies and processes before stepping into a space of supporting our wider network. That will be our next step.

NGB Tips sent after Transgender inclusion in domestic sport guidance workshop

NGB Tips sent after Transgender inclusion in domestic sport guidance workshop

# data[].attributes.body
Top tips for NGBs:

Sit down with your working group and work through page 9 questions. Other sports have feedback that this has been a great starting point.

1. Try not to create a ‘one size fits all’ policy for your sport. Look at the different disciplines and offerings, a different policy position/variation might be needed.

2. Chunk your sport down. Elite is usually governed by international federations. You can have something different.

3. Check with other NGBs who have had experience in this space. A few NGBs have great learning within areas such as consultations.

4. Share, help, support. Reach out to your counterparts in other nations

5. Whatever policy you create, not everyone will always agree. Be open and transparent with your process and standpoint. Share any supporting documentation you can.

6. Prep staff and your comms team for potential backlash. Be ready for this and prepped. Support staff where needed. Be open and honest with the process you went through.

7. Publish everything to do with the process you went through. Look at others and what they have published.

8. Leadership need to take ownership and accountability for policies. It’s important that those in leadership and boards put their names to these projects. This may involve setting up a working group to establish policies with board, then board taking ownership of final policies. Board training will help to ensure these are informed decisions.

9. Sports councils cannot and will not read and feedback on your policies. It has to be you as the NGB/SGB that signs this off. Ensure you have the education around this. Training for board etc. and ensure the people fronting this know the policies and processes.

10. Ensure you have sought legal assurance.  See above for next workshop dates

11. Check your insurance in this space.

We've just put together a guidance document for our team to use that supports us to deal with any extremist behaviour within our events. It clarifies that our learning / convening events are about listening, sharing and seeking to understand from others and that any thing that disrupts this in a harmful manner will be not in keeping with the code of conduct for that event. We've got some suggestive statements to use in response to any negativity. Happy to share this with anyone rachael.dyer@activepartnerstrust.org.uk

Hi all I attended a race literacy training day facilitated by Maryam Din (https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryam-din/). Although todays focus was race they work for TransActual and Gendered Intelligence so could be an option or contact for accessing wider training. They were a great facilitator so I wanted to put the recommendation out there. Also if you could bring them in to talk about race perhaps then you could double prong that with trans inclusion or layering trans inclusion into it.

We are not doing loads, but I was happy as the marketing team took their own initiative and reached out around us changing our branding to show support (they wanted to check which flag would be correct) and sharing the Rainbow Bedfordshire case study that I had shared previously as a highlight story. Although we don't do loads it was great to highlight a local organisation who are doing a lot.
