Today is International Non Binary People's Day, which raises awareness of the issues faced by non-binary people around the world.

Let's celebrate and uplift the voices of those whose identity sits outside the binary definitions of a 'man' and a 'woman'. #NonBinaryAwarenessWeek

[NHS Rainbow Badge @RainbowNHSBadge]

@Fenntic For the badge individuals sign a pledge taking responsibility for being a safe and informed person to disclose to. Trusts implement their own process regarding training, some link it to access to the Rainbow Badge but this is not a requirement of the scheme. HTH but dms open

While being a recent inpatient @LHCHFT it meant a lot to see so many staff wearing @RainbowNHSBadge. So proud to have brought the badges to my place of work @MFTnhs. Knowing how it feels as a patient, that you can be your honest self is huge. Thanks to all who wear the badge 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
