Guidance on Trans Equality in Post School Education

The guide’s aim is to ensure that trans equality is embedded in all policies and practices in post-school education. It is relevant for education providers, managers, students’ unions and trade unions. This guide provides background information, practical advice and examples of best practice, so that employers in the education sector can take the positive steps required to fulfil both legal requirements and provide a positive environment for trans workers and students.

Copies can also be ordered from Communications via stockorders@unison.co.uk by quoting the stock reference number no 2691
