20 November marks Transgender Day of Remembrance, which, each year, commemorates and memorialises those who have lost their lives as a result of transphobia and anti-transgender violence.
DMUfreedom, our diversity and inclusion charter, sets out our commitment that at DMU, we believe that everyone should have the freedom to be, the freedom to inspire and the freedom to succeed.
Last year, we launched our ‘Policy on Support and Procedures for Trans, Gender Fluid and Non-Binary Staff and Students’. Increasing numbers of trans, gender-fluid and non-binary staff and students are choosing DMU because of our commitment to diversity and inclusivity.
This policy provides a clear statement of the support we provide, and the procedures staff should follow when supporting staff or students whose experienced gender is different from that assigned at birth.
