Transgender Guidance (April 2025)

11. Maintaining contact and support

At some point, the employee may no longer want or need regular contact or specific support from their manager in relation to their transition. Communications will revert to the usual management interventions. It is important that managers do not make any assumptions about this and should agree when employer support around the transition is complete. Some employees may want a longer period of support and may request different support at different times of their transition, such as wellbeing support. Managers should be aware that sometimes transition results in personal or family relationships breaking down temporarily or permanently and the workplace can offer a place of stability during difficult times.
