Our branch will always support and fight for trans colleagues and students.
If you are a trans member of staff, we urge you to engage with UNISON’s Change The Law campaign. They want to hear from you: Opposing the EHRC guidance – UNISON needs your voice – UNISON National
LGBT+ officer Hafren has put together a further checklist of ways you can show your solidarity:
- Write to your MP to support 240 Early Day Motion to withdraw the Guidance/Code (Email your MP to reject the Code of Practice and support EDM 240)
- Write to your MP about joining Trans Solidarity Alliance’s 25 June Mass Lobby Day / see if you can attend yourself (https://www.transsolidarityalliance.com/mass-lobby-2026)
- Be sure to ask whether any Estates planning your team/division/department is presented with are building gender neutral facilities
- Contact relevant building staff about ensuring there are plans for more gender neutral facilities
- Be sure to have MazeMap clearly up to date, and share with trans students and staff (University map | Maps and travel information | University of Bristol)
- Consider printing a QR code to MazeMap and highlight how it has info on gender neutral facilities
- Consider displaying a trans pride flag visibly in your office/facility
- Don’t be scared to share your pronouns at any meeting you attend, as well as ask colleagues/students – so that when trans people disclose, it’s normal for everyone to disclose
