LGBT+ staff network refresh!

On the DCHS LGBT+ staff network group all (and any) time, support and contributions, are very much appreciated! We know everyone is very busy, and that getting to every meeting may not be possible. We encourage people to try and get to at least four meetings a year, and ideally to get involved with one breakaway project (you’ll hear more about these at the meetings or on emails). We’ve found that level of involvement, if possible, really helps people feel connected and part of the network. However, you’ll know what’s possible for you.

Once you have completed the registration form you will be sent a welcome letter and added to a circulation list so we can keep in touch, we also have a webpage  and use social media. Even if you are unable to attend meetings frequently, to keep the network active and successful engaging with the other communication methods can be very powerful too.

Networks offer vital support and friendship to colleagues; therefore it is important that meetings are safe spaces where your contribution will be valued and confidentiality will be respected.

We understand everyone has different skills and interests and how each person contributes will differ.  Please let the chair know how best to support you.

Once the registration deadline has passed a link to the registration form will be added to our webpage to allow you to join, or re-join at any time in the future.

The webpage can be found here.
