HOW2 LGBTIQ Inclusion Training
Course Outline
Does your organisation have values, goals or targets about increasing inclusivity and celebrating diversity?
The HOW2 LGBTIQ Inclusion Training can provide you with a practical way to work towards these goals.
During this training participants will:
- Be supported by their experienced facilitators to create a plan to embed LGBTIQ inclusive strategies across their organisation.
- Gain an understanding of the relevant frameworks that will help participants develop strategies to improve outcomes for LGBTIQ staff and stakeholders in their organisation.
- Learn more about the evidence base for LGBTIQ inclusive practice within services and organisations, and the positive impact this on the health and wellbeing of LGBTIQ people.
The program involves four sessions held 6-8 weeks apart combined with workplace activities provide participants with increased knowledge and capacity in:
1. Auditing your service
2. Consulting consumers
3. Educating colleagues
4. Developing and implementing an action plan
5. Managing obstacles
6. Evaluating changes
This program, presented by SHINE SA, is based on a set of 6 national standards developed by Rainbow Health Victoria, in conjunction with QIP (Quality, Innovation & Performance), known as Rainbow Tick Accreditation.
NOTE: Although we refer to LGBTIQ inclusion, this course will also cover a broader spectrum of LGBTIQA+ inclusion.
Who Should Enrol?
A minimum of 2 participants from each organisation are required to attend. This program provides the tools to implement change, therefore participants should preferably hold leadership roles, dedicated Rainbow Tick accreditation roles, or be in charge of areas like quality, accreditation, service design, evaluation, diversity and engagement.
Session Details
Tasks are assigned prior to the first session and at the end of sessions 1, 2 & 3. These tasks involve practical activities at participants’ workplaces to start the change management process towards accreditation.
Important: Organisations can choose to be assessed against the 6 national standards through an external process undertaken by QIP in order to achieve the Rainbow Tick. The HOW2 LGBTIQ Inclusion Training can support organisations seeking to achieve this accreditation and is suitable for any organisation seeking to become more inclusive for LGBTI clients and staff.
