Terms and Conditions
ZBGC values safe, professional environments for trainers and participants. As part of delivering high quality training, presentations and workshops ZBGC recommends the following:
Prior to the session
- A phone discussion is held with ZBGC to plan strategies for a culturally safe environment
- A staff member is nominated for a brief phone consultation about your organisation’s current trans and gender inclusive policies and practices
- If the session has been requested due to internal incidences of discrimination or cultural safety concerns, this should be disclosed to the ZBGC training provider in advance so any risk can be properly managed during the session.
During the session
- A manager or senior staff member introduces the session and aligns it with policies, procedures and any diversity strategies your organisation has developed.
- A senior staff member commits to attending the entire session to develop their own knowledge, demonstrate commitment, and manage any cultural safety risks that may arise within the session.
- For longer events the host organization provides tea, coffee, snacks or lunch.
Post Session
- A senior staff member is nominated for a phone debrief to discuss ZBGC recommendations to help your organization further develop trans and gender diverse inclusive policies and practices.
- Human resources and/or management send attendees details of internal complaint pathways to address any discrimination or cultural safety concerns that may not have been previously disclosed to management.
- Human resources and/or management sends communication materials to all attendees, seeking to support any trans and gender diverse participants who may want to affirm their gender identity.
