For GitHub training 15 August On inclusive language page: https://beta.nhs.uk/service-manual/content/inclusive-language

Under heading for Gender and sexuality, where we say: “We make content gender neutral wherever possible”, please add: "Only mention sex, gender or sexuality if relevant. Avoid gender markers, such as Mr, Miss, Mrs, Ms."

Also, add an H3 heading “Gender neutral language” above: “We do not label people with their gender identity or sexuality”.

[Agreed at July Style Council meeting. See #60.]
