Gender Identity Workshop

A University Management Team Working Group was established in September 2016 to draft a UCD Gender Identity Policy and supporting Guidelines. In line with our University values, we are committed to providing an inclusive and diverse University environment where every individual is respected and valued. The purpose of this policy is to value and encourage all members of our University Community, irrespective of gender identity, to achieve their full potential and to respect and recognise diverse gender identities and gender expressions.

The Working Group met on a number of occasions and after reviewing best practice, is now in a position to consult with the University Community on a draft Gender Identity and Expression Policy and Guidelines. The purpose of this consultation process is to enhance the draft policy documents and to advance understanding of gender identity. We would therefore like to encourage you to participate in this consultation process as your opinion matters. A facilitated workshop to take place on Friday, 7 April from 10am to 1pm in Building 71 (Old Student Bar opposite restaurant).
