Update 10th Dec 2011

The government has announced its first transgender action plan. The plan commits government departments including the Department of Health, Department of Work and Pensions, the UK Boarder Agency and the Government Equality Office, amongst others, to work actively to work towards promoting human rights and equality in the lives of trans people. Proposals include ensuring both job centres and business work together to ensure transgender people are recruited in to the work place, and that transgender people are made aware of the opportunities to participate in civil life.

I am pleased to announce that the Equilty and Human rights Commision has mentioned Transcend who worked with the EHRC to develop their equality scheme 2009-12.

Also Transcend has been involved in and participates with the East Midlands LGB& T group to strengthen it's networking.
