Our Gender Identity Youth Worker has started a new monthly pop-up Youth space at Seacroft hospital. This is open to all young people under the service who would like a chat, relax and a little bit of support or just to see a friendly face! @LeedsHospitals @Leeds_Childrens

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance, an annual observance that honours the memory of transgender people whose lives were lost in acts of anti-transgender violence. We are committed to ensuring Leeds Teaching Hospitals is a safe environment for people to be who they are, patients and staff. Thank you to everyone who came to the moving candlelight vigil at Leeds General Infirmary this evening, where we held a two-minute silence and lit candles in memory of people no longer with us. We heard from speakers from various organisations, including Trans Leeds, who are committed to supporting our trans and non-binary communities. We also lit up Jubilee Wing to mark the day, as pictured here.

Today we’ve published new professional guidance on treating transgender physiotherapy patients to ensure fair and appropriate treatment. This guidance raises awareness of the healthcare issues that transgender people face and supports CSP members who interact with this patient group.

This #HateCrimeAwarenessWeek, we're calling for everyone to feel safe - at work, in their communities, or just in public. 🚨 Less than half of LGBTQ+ people feel safe holding their partners hand in public. Stand hand in hand against hate ▶️ bit.ly/3XuC4rr

Please keep a look out for this ring, which one of our colleagues has lost near to Chancellor Wing . It has lots of sentimental value for her 👀

This week is Leeds Hate Crime Week, with this year’s theme of LGBT+ hate crime. There has been a rise in reports of LGBT+ hate crime, with a particular increase in people who are transgender. The chair of our LGBT+ staff network, Robert Fitzgerald, attending as our representative. We stand with the council and local authorities in stamping out LGBT+ hate crimes. #LeedsNoPlaceForHate #HCAW
Great to see a full room in Civic Hall for the launch of Hate Crime Awareness Week in Leeds. #HCAW #LeedsNoPlaceforHate
