Positive Space Champion Training

This is an opportunity for community members to experience Positive Space Champion training which is made available to City of London employees. You may wish to take the information learned to consider creating a similar program in your workplace.

The City of London Positive Space Program is a proposed action item within the Corporation’s 2014 Workplace Diversity and Inclusion Plan. It is a best practice of employers committed to providing a supportive, welcoming and inclusive work place. The Program was developed by PRISM, the Corporation’s Employee Resource Group for LGBT+ employees and allies, whose focus is “Supporting our LGBT+ employees to bring their whole selves to work”. The Program creates a network of trained allies throughout our organization called Positive Space Champions, to support employees who may be:

•questioning their sexual orientation
•considering “coming out”
•“out” and experiencing difficulties
•considering or in the process of confirming their gender identity
•supporting family members or friends who reflect the above descriptions
•wishing to seek out information about the LGBT+ community, issues and resources
