The National LGB & T Partnership<\/span><\/h1>\n

<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"NationalLondon Friend\u00a0is proud to be part of The National LGB&T Partnership<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Partnership was established in early 2010, in order reduce health inequalities and challenge homophobia, biphobia and transphobia within public services.\u00a0 As of April 2016, the Partnership combines the expertise of twelve\u00a0key LGB&T organisations<\/a> across England. Further organisations (both LGBT and non-LGBT) are invited to contribute to seminars and project work, based upon their particular skills and expertise.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Partnership is a Sector Strategic Partner<\/a> of the Department of Health, Public Health England and NHS England, collaborating with a wide range of organisations.\u00a0 It works to successfully influence the policy, practice and actions of Government, statutory bodies, and others.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In 2016, the Partnership commissioned a strategic review, undertaking consultation with both external and internal stakeholders. A summary report on the review can be found\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Partnership has identified five key objectives within health and social care:<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Act as a catalyst and connector<\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019ll put LGB&T people firmly on the agenda of decision-makers; increasing visibility through attending meetings, responding to consultations, advice and collaboration.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Drive forward Sexual Orientation Monitoring and Trans Status Monitoring<\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019ll support the implementation of monitoring, which is vital in understanding LGB&T people\u2019s needs, especially when often: \u201cIf you aren\u2019t counted, you don\u2019t count\u201d.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Reduce health inequalities<\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019ll challenge the impact of homophobia, biphobia and transphobia, and work to help reduce significant health and social care inequalities faced by LGB&T people.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Improve access to health and social care services<\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019ll highlight the many barriers (both perceived and actual), which limit LGB&T people accessing the support they need; identifying solutions and best practice.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ensure LGBT people\u2019s voices are heard<\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019ll seek out and use the real voices and lived experiences of LGB&T people within our communities, to inform people in positions of power and influence.<\/p>\n
