Dear All
My name is Ruth Hunt and I am a Policy Officer (Gender and Sexual
Orientation) at the Equality Challenge Unit. Like the rest of the team, I
can help with general enquiries, but my specific remit of work at the
moment is transsexual issues and sexual orientation issues.
The first draft of "Employing people in Higher Education: Sexual
Orientation" is now complete and I am writing to ask if anyone on the list,
or within your institution, would be willing to be a critical reader at
this stage?
The Employment Equality (Sexual Orientation) Regulations protect all staff,
regardless of sexual orientation including heterosexual people, lesbians,
gay men or bisexual people. The guidelines are written with this in mind,
and provide practical solutions to HEIs to help ensure compliance with
these new regulations.
If you would like to be a critical reader, please could you email
[log in to unmask] or post to this list.
If you have any questions about sexual orientation or transsexual issues,
please feel free to email me on the address above or call (0)20 7520 7062.
"Employing transsexuals in Higher Education" (written in collaboration with
the transsexual community) has now gone to print and will be circulated
shortly.
Many thanks in advance
Ruth
