June is #Pride Month!
Pride is an opportunity to celebrate the progress that has been made towards acceptance and equality throughout the LGBTQIA+ community.
In support of this awareness month, we are sharing some information about how to make sure your LGBTQIA+ colleagues are supported, plus you can learn about creating a more accessible workplace and what reasonable adjustments organisations can make for their employees.
Skills for Care LGBTQ+ Framework
Check out the Skills for Care LGBTQ+ Framework which includes a background on LGBTQ+ issues and awareness; a look at health and wellbeing issues later in life, including research about LGBTQ+ inequalities; information on providing personalised care and support covering topics of intersectionality, supporting people with dementia or HIV, and understanding intimacy and sexuality later in life; and recommendations for leadership, education, and service development to continue to improve care and support in this area.
