This lunchtime learning seminar brought to you by Yorkshire and Rural Teaching Partnership promotes communication and knowledge sharing between academics and social work and social care professionals.
The session will provide a broad overview of relevant terminology, pronouns, titles, and what would likely be general good practice for social workers when working with trans children. It will explore the law around the issues of gender identity, particularly in the family sphere and what social workers would need to be aware of. It will discuss the pathways to transitioning and what social workers would need to be conscious of with a focus on the medical, social and legal implications.
