Towards an inclusive workplace

Running LGBT+ networks

1. Setting up an LGBT+ network

‘We are currently in the stage of thinking about starting set up a staff network’

 

2. Involvement from management and EDI

‘I want to be involved with the LGBT+ network’

 

‘We have been able to establish a staff network together’

 

3. Promotion and visibility

‘I look after student nurses and tell them about our forum’

 

‘I always felt that there was a network ongoing even if I wasn’t participating’

 

4. Problems and suggestions

‘LGBT network meetings at the moment have been geared up more for non-clinical staff’

 

‘It can be upsetting when not many people turn up to the meetings or events’

 

‘Not enough resource is put into the LGBT+ network’

 

5. Changes

‘We are striving for change over the coming times’
