In November 2011, the Commission published this set of 11 online FAQs, fact sheets, resource lists and workshop outlines. They give schools, employers, health professionals and community groups up-to-date information about working with trans people. The Commission would like to thank the many trans people, including trans youth and teachers, who helped develop the two FAQs for schools.
