About the SIG:
The current focus of the Equality SIG is to build capacity among the SLT community in Ireland to provide inclusive and informed services to transgender/gender diverse clients, across the lifespan. We achieve this through two CPD offerings: skills training and peer support meetings. 30 SLTs from CAMHS teams around Ireland attended a 2 day training in March 2020. Our next training is for SLTs who wish to include transgender/gender diverse adults in their caseload. We offer our members two different quarterly peer support meetings for SLTs depending on whether you work with young people or adults. It is our hope to open up conversations about this rapidly evolving area, in collaboration with other SIGs. To make an enquiry about peer support or to become a member, please email equalitysig@gmail.com. The Chair of the Equality SIG is Rachel Moore, Senior Speech and Language Therapist, National Gender Service.
