Equality and Diversity Training

1. Unacceptable behaviour

This section looks at stereotyping, discrimination and prejudice, victimisation and harassment - behaviour that The Equality Act does NOT allow - behaviour which is not only unacceptable, but which is also against the law.

The Equality Act calls this 'prohibited conduct'.

2. Protected characteristics

We are all different, no one is exactly the same as anyone else. Some of our differences are  'protected characteristics' and are given particular protection by law.

This section looks at these protected characteristics - age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy (See our new and expectant mothers at work course) and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex and sexual orientation.

Each of the characteristics is separated into three parts, firstly describing the characteristic, then information about 'what employers should consider' and finally explaining 'what you can do'. There are also examples of situations where the equality rules have been broken.

Discriminating against people because of any of these 9 characteristics is illegal.

3. The Benefits of Equality and Diversity in The Workplace

This section looks at the benefits of promoting equality and diversity in the workplace, both for the organisation and for the people who work there.

No one wants to face discrimination or harassment at work and this is unlikely to happen in an organisation which proactively supports diversity.

This Equality and Diversity Training course concludes with a 20 question multiple choice test with a printable certificate. In addition, brief in-course questionnaires guide the user through the sections of the training and are designed to reinforce learning and ensure maximum user engagement throughout.

As well as printable user certificates, training progress and results are all stored centrally in your LMS (Learning Management System) and can be accessed any time to reprint certificates, check and set pass marks and act as proof of a commitment to ongoing legal compliance.
