Try some questions from the course

Question 1 of 3

What would have been a more respectful way to ask about pronouns?

 

Sharing your own pronouns and making it optional lets people choose when and how to share.

Lesson 1, Why respectful language matters, teaches this. See the outline

Question 2 of 3

A form asks for "Mr, Mrs or Miss". What is a more inclusive option?

 

An optional title lets people choose. Check what your law requires with HR.

Lesson 4, Grey areas: disclosure, pronouns and privacy, teaches this. See the outline

Question 3 of 3

A colleague tells you about a comment that upset them. What is a good first response?

 

Listening and asking what they want puts them in control.

Lesson 5, Speak up and apply on the job, teaches this. See the outline
