This two-day course is designed for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender members of PCS who have not previously attended training on sexuality issues. The event will allow individuals to discuss & exchange experiences, identify sources of discrimination and support and develop strategies for dealing with discrimination in the workplace. This and discussions around ‘coming out’ should help to increase the self-confidence of those attending. The course also looks at existing legislation that protects LGBT people at work.

The Proud Stage 2 training course is a two-day course that looks at the structures within PCS, identifying LGBT issues in particular and how to raise them and follow their progress through within the union. Workshops cover skills such as: - writing motions, public speaking, and a mock conference, as well as looking at the PCS National Organising Strategy which looks at collective identity and full membership participation in the union’s activities. The course is open to any LGBT members of PCS; especially those who wish to become or already are union activists or representatives, and seeks to encourage their playing a full and active role within PCS.
