The Vale of Glamorgan Council's network for LGBT+ colleagues and allies.

 

GLAM is a staff network of LGBT+ colleagues and allies that:

  • works to have a positive impact for LGBT+ colleagues in the workplace;

  • raises overall awareness and visibility of its work; and 

  • provides a social and supportive environment.  

These aims are delivered through our three workstreams which are each led by a member of the Steering Group.

Workplace Impact

To have a positive impact on the Council’s workplace environment by:

  • influencing relevant policies and practices;
  • progressing against the Stonewall Workplace Equality Index; and 
  • promoting opportunities for personal development.

Visibility and Awareness 

  • To raise awareness and understanding of the issues that affect the LGBT+ community; and
  • To foster a culture of openness, where people feel able to be themselves and to meet their potential. 

Social and Support 

To provide opportunities for members of the group to:

  • attend events;
  • interact socially in a safe and supportive space; and 
  • raise funds to support the work of the Network in pursuing the objectives and annual work plan.


GLAM is open to anyone who supports the aims and objectives of the network. If you would like to become a member, please complete our membership form:
