Support Mechanisms Check
Are the mechanisms actually in place?
Twenty questions on inclusion, learning routes, contribution, challenge and direct provision — about what your organisation has built, not about how anyone feels.
Written down is not the same as working.
Mechanisms, not feelings
This check asks what the organisation has built and could show. Nothing here asks a trans person to report on their own experience — hearing from people directly is a separate piece of work, and one that needs more care than a web form can offer.
Take the assessment with our help
The interactive Support Mechanisms Self-Assessment needs JavaScript. It's a five-minute self-check on whether the mechanisms that make an organisation safe to be trans in are actually built — not just stated. If it hasn't loaded, you can talk to us directly instead.
