How to welcome
Welcoming rainbow people doesn't just mean treating them the same as everyone else - it means understanding differences and creating inclusive spaces where everyone is treated respectfully.
Make sure your physical spaces, forms, information and policies are designed to include people who have varied identities and experiences.
Display resources and symbols of inclusion
Consider displaying rainbow friendly visual materials or resources.
Provide gender-inclusive spaces
Look at the physical environment and consider how to make it safer and more welcoming for people of all genders, including nonbinary people.
Provide rainbow-inclusive programmes
Think about the groups or programmes or services your organisation provides - are they inclusive of rainbow, trans and nonbinary people?
Affirm identity in forms, databases and conversations
Equip staff with the knowledge and support to engage respectfully with all service users, including rainbow people.
