LGBT History Month – safe space provides confidential meeting place for LGBT colleagues

February 11, 2019

As you may be aware, February marked the start of LGBT History Month with this year’s theme being peace, activism and reconciliation.

To celebrate, we’re looking back at some of great achievements our of LGBT Staff Network at the Trust.

Back in February 2018, the staff network alongside the Trust introduced a new ‘safe space’ allowing colleagues from LGBT communities to be able to meet and talk confidentially. It was the first time that such a space had been offered to colleagues within our organisation.

Our LGBT staff network meets every two months to discuss upcoming news and events. An open invite is extended to all those who self-define as LGBT and allies.

Please see below upcoming meeting dates for 2019:

  • 14 February, 10am-12pm, Sandwell Education Centre – Room 15
  • 11 April, 2pm-4pm, City Hospital – Anne Gibson Committee Room
  • 20 June, 10am-12pm, Sandwell Education Centre – Room 9
