About this course

Equality, diversity, and inclusion are all about treating people fairly and with respect, no matter what their differences may be.

This Equality, Diversity & Inclusion training programme looks at how we behave at work and how our behaviour may affect those around us and was created in collaboration with global EDI experts who are CPD certified and recognised by IIRSM and Citation.

What issues does the EDI training course cover?

It addresses unacceptable behaviour, stereotyping, victimisation and discrimination as well as introducing characteristics protected by The Equality Act – suggesting ways in which to build a more supportive, harmonious workplace.

An open and inclusive workplace has many benefits – both to the organisation and to individuals; such benefits include an increase in morale, better staff retention, and improved company reputation. By the end of our training staff will feel more confident at addressing sensitive issues surrounding equality, diversity, equity, and inclusion; and we hope they will feel inspired and ready to make a positive difference in their workplace and the wider community.

We believe our Equality, Diversity & Inclusion Course is the perfect way to make a positive difference in your organisation. This equality training can be completed online in just 1 hour, it provides printable certificates, helping you to show commitment to the Equality Act 2010 and it is CPD accredited and IIRSM & Citation approved for your reassurance.

Overall very good

There was one question, that made no sense at all. So, my answer was really a gamble and it was incorrect. Never mind, I passed anyway.

Excellent

The course has given me the knowledge and understanding some things that can cause fire like sticking too many plugs on one socket, hot oil and candles unattended .Raise alarm when there is a fire, not to take lift .

Why is this training important?

Compliance

It’s important that you comply with the law and know the ways in which it affects you and the way you work.

Equality and Diversity is about acknowledging that everybody has a right to fair and equal treatment, irrespective of age, gender, sexual orientation, or any other characteristic. Originally, workplace legislation surrounding these rights was considered something of a ‘grey area’; with around 116 separate laws existing under the broad umbrella of ‘equality and diversity’. In October 2010, these were, at last, merged into one coherent act: The Equality Act 2010.

The Equality Act includes ‘Protected Characteristics’ which are differences between people which cannot be used as reasons to treat them any differently. Doing this would be against the law.

The Equality Act also includes ‘Prohibited Conduct’ which are actions that people are not allowed to do to each other on the basis of any of the protected characteristics. This is illegal too.

Protected characteristics include: age; disability; gender reassignment; marriage and civil partnership; pregnancy and maternity; race; religion or belief; sex; sexual orientation.
