SEXUAL ORIENTATION

 

NHSGGC - Standing together against homophobia

NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde is asking its staff, patients and members of the public to support the organisation to take a stand against homophobia.

We believe that it is all our responsibility to ensure that everyone who works for or uses the health service is treated fairly.

We want to make it clear to everyone that homophobia is no different to racism or sexism and has no place in NHS Greater Glasgow Clyde.

Central to the campaign is the Take a Stand web site, where people can pledge their support, send in photographs of themselves with the campaign banner and access information on homophobia and how to tackle it.

However, the campaign is not just about showing support. It aims to give people the opportunity to make a real difference by recognising and challenging discrimination. To view the NHSGGC staff good practice guide, click here.

 

Have Your Say!

As part of the Take A Stand campaign, we are organising a discussion session for staff members to talk about issues relating to sexual orientation, transgender and tackling homophobia in the workplace.

The event is open to all NHSGGC staff members and will be held on 16th May 2012 from 6.30pm - 8.30pm at Jury's Inn, 80 Jamaica Street, Glasgow. Refreshments will be available from 6pm.

If you are interested in coming along to the session then please contact
