Sexual Orientation
Lesbian, gay and bisexual people are not only employed in the
council but engage with the Council as service users. They are also
likely to interact with the Council as representatives from other
organisations. Often, sexual identity may not be felt to be
relevant to the use of a particular Council service. However, many
Council services are very important to LGB people as a community of
interest. How these services are provided and how sensitive
they are to their needs can have a large bearing on the
quality of life of many LGB people.
Suffolk LGBT Staff Network
The Suffolk LGBT Staff Network is for lesbian, gay,
bisexual and transgender staff. It provides a forum to share
experiences and to support each other, and also serves as a focus
for consultation on council policies and practice.
