Introduction to LGBTIQ+ inclusive practice: Starting your journey of learning with Ange Morgan

This workshop will suit those who feel they are in the early stages of their journey of learning and understanding regarding best practice for those from the LGBTIQ+ community.

We will explore context and identity, terminology, reflective self-work, and practical and theoretical considerations for your practice. The workshop aims to be a supportive space in which to be curious and to learn. Participants will be supported to gain a foundational understanding of aspects of consideration for people from the LGBTIQ+ community, and the ability to continue to update their practice and reflective work in a focused and informed way independently beyond the workshop; Participants will be able to draw on practice examples to consider how they can expand their knowledge and service delivery.

Note: this workshop is an introductory space in which to learn and commence an ongoing enquiry. Further work, both independent and facilitated is recommended before advertising as a practice/ practitioner who is experienced in inclusive service delivery, but this workshop aims to support participants to commence this training in a focused and informed way.
