Marking IDAHOBIT: combatting hate against transport colleagues and customers

Join us for the May Journey meeting where we will mark International Day against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia with a webinar covering what organisations in the transport sector can do to tackle the -phobias: both directed towards our colleagues and towards our customers.

We will draw from the Journey LGBTQ+ transport worker survey about the experiences of our LGBTQ+ colleagues, as well as existing customer surveys such as  the 'Out in London' report, and research conducted by people like our speaker Lindsey Turner, and would love to hear your insights and experiences too.

We aim to provide some practical advice that you as LGBTQ+ network leaders can use to influence your organisations to make your workplaces and services more LGBTQ+ inclusive.

Hosted by Matt Smith from AtkinsRealis, first we'll hear findings from the Journey LGBTQ+ survey related to the experiences of the -phobias of LGBTQ+ people working in transport, both from colleagues and from customers. Skye Haynes from SWR will then tell us about her work promoting body worn video and its impact both deterring and successfully prosecuting hate crimes directed towards our people, and finally Lindsey Turner from DVSA will speak about research and recommendations into LGBTQ+ customers' experiences on transport.

We want to hear from you! What best practice can you share from your organisations?
