Why should the security sector be conscious of Pride all year round? This webinar will explore the significance of Pride and the current status of LGBTQ+ representation across the sector. It will also cover the tangible actions that the security sector can take to being truly inclusive. To create positive change for the LGBTQ+ community it is essential that a collaborative approach is taken across the security sector, and as such we all have a part to play.

This webinar will discuss:

- Efforts being made across the security sector, to make the LGBTQ+ community more visible, including London Pride
- How the security sector can play a part in making the workplace more inclusive for the LGBTQ+ community
- The important role allies play in driving change
