Trans equality
The Equality Act 2010 gives protection for trans people.
We are committed to equality of opportunity for trans people throughout recruitment and employment, including supporting trans employees through any transitioning process. Slough Borough Council will not tolerate discrimination, victimisation or harassment on the basis of a person’s gender identity, gender expression or trans status.
We seek to provide a supportive environment for trans staff and to create a culture and environment where trans staff are able to thrive and are well supported during any process of transition.
It is discriminatory to treat trans people less favourably for being absent from work because they propose to undergo, are undergoing, or have undergone gender affirming surgery than they would be treated if they were absent because they were ill or injured.
