For this special podcast LawInSport has partnered with the Sport & Recreation Alliance for 'Alliance Learning Week' to produce a short talk that will discuss how sport and recreation organisations can create an inclusive culture, specifically for trans people. The podcast covers current legal guidance and features practical advice from the Amateur Swimming Association’s experience of the Transgender Nonconforming Swimming Group (TAGs) which provides exclusive use of a local community swimming pool, providing a safe environment for trans people.
Speakers:
Hannah Dobbin, Policy Adviser, Sport and Recreation Alliance
Jamie Hooper, Health and Wellbeing Manager, ASA
Lucy Faulkner, Equality Consultant
Lydia Banjeree, Barrister, Littleton Chambers
Moderated by Sean Cottrell, CEO, LawInSport
The podcast also includes an interview with Roberta Francis who heads-up the TAGs initiative and is transgender. Roberta shares her personal experiences about organising TAGs initiatives and offers advice for transgender and non-conforming people to participate in sport and for sports organisations on how to be inclusive and welcoming to the Trans and Nonconforming community.
