Stonewall focus groups on bisexuality - can you help?
02/06/09
Stonewall is producing a guide, kindly supported by the Home Office, to help employers be more inclusive of bisexual staff. They are talking to a numberof bisexual people and organisations about some of the issues they encounter and the things they would like to see in their workplace. Professor Gill Valentine and Dr Nichola Wood, on behalf of Stonewall, will also be conducting a series of focus groups with bisexual staff. If you are bisexual and work for a Stonewall Diversity Champion, please think about taking part in one of the groups. If you know someone who might be interested, please let them know.
The results of the focus groups, and other interviews, will be presented in a guide for employers. The guide will be launched at an event in the Home Office in September 2009.
Your contribution to the focus group will be entirely anonymous - findings will not be tied to specific organisations nor will individual participants be identified in the report.
The four focus groups will be held in the following locations:
London Focus Group: Tuesday 2 June 5:00-7:00pm Stonewall London Office, 14th Floor, Tower Building, York Road, Waterloo, SE1 7NX
Edinburgh Focus Group: Friday 19 June 2:00-4:00pm Stonewall Edinburgh Office, 9 Howe Street, Edinburgh, EH3 6TE
Cardiff Focus Group: Monday 22 June 4:00-6:00pm Stonewall Cymru Office, Media Room, Transport House, 1 Cathedral Road, Cardiff, CF11 9SB

Sign up to Midland LGBT for 09/10!
26/02/09
We're pleased to announce that nominations are now open for the new Midland LGBT committee for 2009/10.
Voting will take place at the AGM on 25th March 2009. We are grateful to PricewaterhouseCoopers for providing a venue for the event - more details on location over on the events calendar. We also are delighted to welcome guest speakers Nina Bhogal, National Grid's Inclusion & Diversity Advisor, and Peter James from PwC.
We are looking to revitalise our committee and vote in a new steering group - and that means we want you! If you live or work anywhere in the Midlands area, we'd love to have you involved in the committee - even if you've never done anything like this before. Many of the current committee members are hoping to stay on in their existing or new roles, so you'll have plenty of support and guidance.
A list of positions we are looking to fill is now available - please let us know how you would like to get involved using this form - responses if possible please by 20th March 2009. You can show interest in as many of the roles as you like - or sign up for general support if you'd prefer. Role sharing is also an option we're willing to explore - just let us know.
