Course contents
This 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. And we’ll touch upon learning about, embracing and celebrating each others’ differences and the business advantages to having a diverse workforce – that values its employees and has structures in place to support each person.
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.

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.
