As an employee who is embarking on gender reassignment you will need some support and flexibility at this time. You should meet with your employer to agree how your transition will take place. Some of the issues you may need to discuss are:

• The time scale for any medical or cosmetic treatment.
• When and how to inform colleagues and clients.
• When you may wish to change your name, personal details and social identity.
• The need for flexibility in the dress code, where applicable.
• Amending personnel records.
• Using single-sex facilities.
• Ensuring hostile or negative reactions among the workforce are addressed effectively.
• Whether you wish to stay in your current post or request redeployment.
