Updates and campaign progress.
We are currently updating the campaign website and will be launching the new version this month! It’s been a very busy and productive month for the T*BD team and whilst we’ll give a full description on the new website soon, this is a brief summary of recent work.
The responses to the first phase of the consultation have been reviewed and written up by our Best Practice Officer, Ellie. Her report covers the response to the consultation and amendments made in light of them and will be available to read on the new website. We would like to thank all who took the time to participate in the online consultation.
As announced on our Facebook group, Chloe and I met with the NUS LGBT Team, including the two trans representatives, to discuss cooperation between our campaigns. As a result, we will be attending the NUS LGBT Activist Training events to conduct the second phase of the consultation. This will consist of in-person focus groups, giving attendees the chance to discuss what they see as important factors for trans* inclusion and equality across the entire university experience and how to measure them. We will also be at the NUS LGBT Conference in 2012 to discuss and present our work.
We have also added to our articles and best practice series, which we hope will be of interest and use to anyone hoping to improve the situation for trans* students at their institution.
Thanks to everyone who has followed and supported the campaign so far, we hope you continue to do so on the new site.
We also have new email addresses, however the best way to get in touch is email: team@transbydegree.org.uk
