The UK becomes more culturally diverse each year, and as such, so do workplaces. Equality, Diversity and Inclusion training is, therefore, becoming an essential part of training for all workplaces.

Course contents
This Equality, Diversity and Inclusion training course is broken down into 4 sections:
-
1The Ideal Workplace
-
2Unacceptable Behaviour
-
3The Protected Characteristics
-
4Practical Improvements
Section 1
In section one of our equality and diversity in the workplace training, we’ll explore why treating people fairly and respectfully is a social and ethical responsibility and why it is so important; we’ll envision the ideal workplace and how it feels to be a part of one, as well as the practical part you can play in making it a reality.
Section 2
In section two, we’ll cover the barriers that can prevent us from creating the ideal workplace and how they can be avoided and resolved. This will cover, unacceptable behaviours like bias, stereotyping, discrimination, harassment and victimisation.
Section 3
In section three of our equality and diversity in the workplace training, we’ll introduce employees to the personal characteristics that are protected from discrimination, and we’ll offer advice on how to treat people fairly and with respect in relation to each characteristic.
Section 4
And in our final section, we’ll come back to the ideal workplace. We’ll touch upon learning about, embracing and celebrating each others’ differences and the business advantages of having a diverse workforce – that values its employees and has structures in place to support each person.

Great Course
I found the course really engaging and brilliant explanations using real life scenarios to help understanding of terms. It only lost a star due to technical challenges with the system crashing as I chose the last question taking me back to the start.
Engaging through video presentations
Enjoyed doing the course, better than just watching a slide show.
It was ok
This user gave this course a rating of 3/5 stars
Inflexible and frustrating.
I felt that I was being preached to rather than informed. // Despite already knowing most of the content, it took me over an hour to complete the course – or maybe it just felt that way – because every time I revisited a previous slide, I had to sit through the entire content associated with that slide rather than just listen to the bit that I needed. I couldn't click to move forward until the content in each slide was finished. So frustrating and not something I have experienced in other online courses. The prospect of having to endure that for every one of 33 slides very quickly reduced my engagement with the content. / / Race and nationality aren't the same thing, yet one slide suggested that they were. / / Telling people not to stereotype and then associating various signs of physical frailty and incapability with older people specifically is contradictory and stigmatising, given that younger people can also experience these difficulties as part of a range of illnesses. I would recommend that you remove these, as using them as examples particularly associated with age reinforces existing negative stereotypes about older people. Thank you for reinforcing that by your choice of descriptors. Generalisations are stereotypical and can also encourage and reinforce prejudice. // In all honesty, I preferred reading the transcript to listening to the presenters. Their vocal intonation was distracting at times (very earnest and actor-ly) and some people learn more by reading rather than listening. You need to cater for both. // The course was too long. For anyone new to the topic, it would be hard to remember it all without a downloadable reference source in text. Training needs to be memorable in order to be capable of being implemented, especially anything with possible legal consequences. // I would have given the course 2 1/2 stars if you'd let me. It wasn't all bad, but changes do need to be made.
Appreciated the detail this course went into and the exercise of putting yourself in someone else's shoes. It is important for people to slow down and consider how something may impact another even if it does not affect them personally.

Why is Equality and Diversity training important?
Compliance
What does the law say on equality and diversity?
It’s important that you comply with the law and know the ways in which it affects you and the way you work. The Equality Act 2010 was established to provide a framework for businesses to adhere to the right of employees, and how they are treated in the workplace.
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 based on 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; and sexual orientation.
