I am a civil servant
Gender identity - Civil Service policy
The Civil Service aims to support and treat all employees equally, regardless of their gender identity.
Everyone has a right to, and deserves, equal respect and support - and we endeavour to ensure all staff receive this within our workplace.
We're aware of the issues that affect transsexual, intersex and transgender men and women through the work of groups such as a:gender. And we work with these groups to identify and help address these issues.
a:gender
a:gender is the support network for staff who have changed, or need to change permanently, their perceived gender. It provides guidelines on best practice to ensure that transsexual and transgender employees have the same rights and working conditions as every other civil servant. For example, it has produced guidance for the Home Office about the workplace and gender reassignment.
Monitoring gender identity
The Civil Service does not centrally monitor gender identity. Some departments do undertake individual monitoring.
You can find more information about monitoring gender identity by reading a series of recommendations that have been put together by a:gender.
