14:40 Changing perceptions of transgender people

Presenter:  Sarah Jenkins, Magenta Research

A charity that tackles social problems by improving media coverage of misrepresented groups, identified an urgent need to understand perceptions of transgender people in the UK. They suspected various media outlets were propagating prejudices which were filtering into public opinion, consequently impacting the lives of transgender people. Magenta will take us through how they uncovered the necessary insights to enable the development of an effective communication strategy for tackling prejudice and improving outcomes for transgender people, which would be shared with other bodies working to improve transgender outcomes.  The learning from this session can be applied to any minority group and the development of any communication strategy.
