We start with foundations

We know change is hard, but what we also know is that you’ve got to start somewhere - and the experts are clear. Inclusion can be your organisational strength if you invest in the foundations and plan for change.

So before you make big proclamations and tackle the hardest thing you can think of, we always recommend completing foundational training.

At Tiny Pride we believe in taking measured steps to inclusion for the LGBTIQA+ community and that this starts with capacity building that covers essential knowledge about who the LGBTIQA+ community is.

For each ogranisation we work with, we change the emphasis of our training depending on the change you want to see in your staff - that includes a focus on the things that make LGBTIQA+ community ‘happy and healthy’, a focus on a particular part of the community, or we can focus on the acronym and pronoun basics.

While our workshops can be a traditional stand and deliver with our main workshop facilitator, we also offer a co-delivery model that ensures that participants can ask workplace specific questions and that overall strategy and planning is reinforced by a workplace representative contributing throughout.

We also ensure that our training is delivered by people with lived experience. For example, Tiny Pride delivers training to Aboriginal organisations with Aboriginal people who identify as part of the LGBTIQA+ community. We recommend Karndorr Cultural Consulting as our key training partner.

Likewise, if there is a focus on trans and gender diverse issues, we ensure that one of our talented trans or gender diverse community members is there to help with delivery.

Our workshops are generally scheduled for two hours, leaving time for genuine conversation and questions along the way.

Services and supports

When you’re ready, Tiny Pride is here to move you past your foundational capacity building.

We’re available to undertake project work and act in a consulting capacity depending on your requirements. We are able to assist you with Rainbow Tick evidence generation, policy reviews, communications reviews and an environment check of your building and work/service delivery environment.

  • We can provide you with expert advice in relation to ways of generating evidence against the standards and identifying how you are tracking against your implementation plan across your mid-cycle review and reaccreditation.

  • From an internal perspective, your policies, procedures and risk management frameworks are what you can lean back on when you’re thinking about LGBTIQA+ inclusion.

    Policies and procedures help your LGBTIQA+ employees feel welcome and also help set the pace for behaviors and expectations for your whole organisation.

    We can also review your staff communications and your external inclusion footprint.

  • Signaling inclusion to both prospective employers/staff and people who use your services is an important consideration for LGBTIQA+ people. Whether they’re a member of your workforce, thinking of applying for work, or using your services, LGBTIQA+ people are on the look out for any signs that they are welcome.

    There are lots of really clever ways this can be done, including ensuring that the signals align with your brand, including observing community celebrations.

    We’re here to work with you to get it right.

  • We know that all of these things above might not apply to you, but we’ve got a small business guide that will steer you in the right direction whether you’re a sole trader or oversee a team.

    We’ve specially tailored our guide to support you in making your business more inclusive in all the right ways to enable you to cut through and signal inclusion.
