This is my very informal writeup of Institute of Equality and Diversity Practitioners (IEDP) seminar on LGBT "Working to make equality happen" series - 2nd of 4.
The idea of each of the seminars is to focus on a single/group of Equality Act protected characteristics and look at other intersections to that.
The day was split into two parts separated by a lunch provided by the IEDP. There were two panels and 6 speakers. I shall use initials for all of them as I am not sure some of them are safe to be outed and don't wish to make them stand out because of that.
( Click here to expand the full writeup which is long )
All in all the day was very useful and I do like the IEDP as a small human organisation which still seems to embody the sorts of activism that I like. I think given some support they could be quite interesting and more useful to small organisations than some of the larger orgs. I will probably look into their accreditation and see what it is like, although £350 is a bit out of my comfort zone for a basic accreditation... But might be a useful thing to have... Hmm. I can think of some people looking at doing E&D work who might be more interested in it than I am.
