A reminder.

Dr Frances Hamilton and I have been working on have recently developed a new resource in the interests of safeguarding LGBTQ+ Colleagues considering international travel for work or education purposes.

This tool allows Universities and businesses to develop their policy concerning LGBTQ+ staff and student international travel. It also allows individuals to check their employer’s policy regarding international travel for LGBTQ+ persons: lgbtqtraveltool.com
