The term transgender, or trans, is used as an umbrella term to describe people whose gender identity differs from their assigned sex at birth.

The lead role for the needs assessment was assigned to Public Health guided by a multiagency Steering Group which has members from key agencies, commissioners and community group representatives.

**The aims of the needs assessment are to:**

- identify the unmet needs and the assets of the trans community
- identify evidence and best practice and the extent to which this has been implemented in Brighton & Hovemake
- recommendations to commissioners, providers and others in order to improve the lives and outcomes of trans people

A key part of the needs assessment is to gain a picture of what is happening locally in terms of general services and also to understand the specific issues for the trans community.
