Publisher: AgeUK
Country: UK
Pages: 40
This resource is written for anyone working or volunteering in health, social care or the voluntary sector who would like to support older people who are lesbian, gay, bi or trans. It will also be helpful for training providers to ensure courses integrate discussions and scenarios relating to the needs of people who are LGBT.
It outlines some of the popular myths that get in the way of progress and gives an overview of the legislative framework that has changed so dramatically in the last ten years (SAND note – bearing in mind it was published in 2017).
‘Safe to be me’ also offers a comprehensive checklist of good practice pointers that can help organisations
translate positive intentions into achievable actions.
