Queer Friendly Staff Network

This is a group of staff who have completed the Queer101 workshop with OUSA Queer Support in order to increase their knowledge of the queer community. They have then been interviewed individually to ensure they are in fact queer-friendly before they are admitted to the Queer Friendly Staff Network. These staff members can be great to talk to if you are having issues around inappropriate behavior within your department or can also be a friendly person to talk to about anything.

While we like to think that all members of the University and Departments are safe to approach, being on this list can add extra assurance to students that they have been met by Queer Support. Check down below to see who has been trained within your department and if you can’t find anyone there then you may want to ask your departmental head to get their staff some training! Check out our training and workshops page!
