Glasgow Educational Psychology Service (GEPS) aims to be an inclusive service which recognises the potential, talents and contribution of all people regardless of age, disability, gender reassignment, sex, race, religion or belief, sexual orientation, marriage and civil partnership and pregnancy and maternity (and paternity).
We’re committed to creating an environment in which everybody, irrespective of their sexual orientation and/or trans or gender status, feel welcomed and valued, and in which discriminatory behaviour and harassment isn’t tolerated.
LBGT Equalities
GPS has achieved the Bronze LGBT charter mark and are currently working towards silver status. This programme was developed to support organisations to undertake training and review policies, practice and resources to make sure that they are not only meeting legislative needs but are as inclusive as they can be. Glasgow Psychological Services supports LGBT equality and stands against transphobia, homophobia and biphobia.
We wanted to share some of the work we are doing to make our service more LGBT inclusive in the video below:
Pronouns
We have also been doing some work as a service around the use of personal pronouns. Using someone’s correct personal pronouns is a way to respect them and to create an inclusive environment. Many members of GEPS wear rainbow lanyards to signify they are LGBT allies and stand against homophobia, biphobia and transphobia. Some of our team also wear Pronoun badges on their lanyards.
Further information on gender inclusive language and sharing personal pronouns can be found on the Pronouns.org website.
