1. LGBTIQ+ Veterans and the Gay ban

This training encourages awareness of a policy that banned LGBTIQ+ individuals from serving in the UK military prior to 2000, and understanding of it's significant and negative impact on LGBTIQ+ service personnel. (Many thanks to Re-Live for allowing NHS Highland to use their beautiful work to illustrate this training package.)
