Every school has a duty as an
employer to ensure it meets its obligations under the Equality Act at every
stage of the employment process. Part of
that duty is ensuring that all employees promote and support equality,
diversity and inclusion in the workplace.
Ideal for all staff, this
course provides delegates with an understanding of how the values, opinions and
prejudices of an individual can influence those around them, and how this can
lead to discrimination.
The course introduces the
Equality Act 2010 and how to avoid discrimination through your behaviours,
language, attitudes, conscious and unconscious bias and actions.
The learning package covers
all areas of equality legislation, policies, processes, procedures, best practice,
and guide to developing an EDI Strategy/action plan.
Delivery is through a mixture
of methods and involves delegates in group exercises and discussions. Training
is practical and interactive.
Delegates will gain an understanding of:
-
Equality, Diversity &
Inclusion and the benefits of diversity in the workplace
-
The different types of
discrimination, unconscious bias, and inappropriate language
-
Key components of an EDI
Strategy
