Resources

These resources have been developed by the University of Leicester’s Research Centre for Museums and Galleries (RCMG) through a partnership of leading UK museums, galleries and heritage organisations and a team of experts in trans inclusion, equalities, law and ethics. The areas of trans-inclusive practice that they cover emerged from our research into the needs of cultural organisations; the topics and themes where they were seeking further support and guidance. They have been created to support a step change in the capacity and confidence of the UK’s culture sector to advance trans inclusion as part of their commitments to inclusion for all.

We are grateful to our cultural partners and team of experts for working together to share their experience and insights in the co-production of these resources.

There are six resources that are freely available to download for use alongside the Guidance:
