Overview
Who is this for?
Staff who would like to understand more about workplace rights and responsibilities and for managers and team leaders to bulid a respectful and inclusive culture.
Why should I take part?
This equality and diversity training course explores the development of the Equality Act 2010 and the clear value to businesses and their staff adopting a positive approach to this subject. The course also provides clear guidance on the requirements to stay ‘onside’ within the legal framework. This applies to both our day to day working lives and where appropriate when recruiting.
Most of the provisions of the Equality Act came into force in October 2010. Further provisions came into force in April 2011. The act replaced previous anti-discrimination laws with a single act to make the law simpler and to remove inconsistencies.
The design of the Equality and Diversity Training Course is to equip staff in order that they can conduct their professional responsibilities with the appropriate skill, knowledge and confidence.
