Theme
As professionals, it is crucial that we create safe and supportive environments for all prospective adopters, including those who identify as transgender, non-binary, or gender diverse. This training is designed to help you explore key terminology, reflect on your own values and practice, understand relevant legislation, and ensure you are providing inclusive and affirming assessments.
Learning objectives
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
• Define key terminology related to trans and non-binary identities and use inclusive language in assessments
• Reflect on their own identities and biases, and understand their impact on assessment practice
• Apply the Equality Act 2010 and Professional Capabilities Framework (PCF) to provide legal, ethical, and equitable support
• Conduct inclusive, trauma-informed, and LGBT+ affirming assessments while avoiding pathologising questions and stereotypes
• Advocate for equity, challenge unconscious bias, and promote systemic change within the adoption system.
