The post SEEN in the Church of England appeared first on Sex Matters.

Committed to the protected belief that biological sex is binary and immutable and matters for both women and men in our everyday lives, including for our rights and needs in the workplace, and must not be conflated with, or replaced by, the concepts of gender or gender identity.

• advocate to private-sector firms the importance of properly understanding, protecting and appropriately balancing everyone’s human rights in their workplaces
• help employers promote diversity of voices, open and respectful dialogue and tolerance between those with differing beliefs and experiences

The post Evidence-Based Social Work Alliance (EBSWA) appeared first on Sex Matters.

The network is committed to promoting and supporting sex equality and equity in NHS workplaces, while upholding the NHS Constitution.

It aims to create an environment where staff can discuss issues related to the protected characteristic of sex and speak up for themselves and for patients, and where the specific sex-based needs of different staff and patient groups are represented in internal NHS discourse.

SEEN in Health believes that:

• every patient has the right to receive evidence-based care, free from ideological bias, and consideration of sex is essential for NHS staff to be able to deliver that
• information for patients should use medically accurate terms which can be understood by all
• there should be no hierarchy of rights and the NHS should comply with its public sector equality duty.

SEEN in Health will facilitate the creation of local NHS SEEN staff networks to work with existing networks.
