Equality Reviews

A good course. It was interesting and informative and encouraged reflection and positive attitudes. I did think that the different types of discrimination could have been developed. It would have been good to have more examples and in-depth explanations. I did find it difficult to distinguish between the different types of discrimination in the examples given. I also felt the disability question in the test at the end was confusing. Overall though, a very rewarding course to do. Thank you.

This is a very impotant subject to cover and policys and procedures are always changing so needs to be completed. However this is too long so maybe could be shorter or divided into seperate units.

I enjoyed this course very much, I enjoyed questioning my own beliefs and found the course challenging and informative.

Overall I felt this was a good course with a positive message and information. My only issue is with section 3.1 The Protected Characteristics – Gender Reassignment. With regards to the information about intersex people most was ok but the inclusion of intersex under the trans umbrella term isn't accurate. Speaking as an intersex person, I would like to reiterate that intersex and transgender are not the same but it is common for people to have this misconception. Although some intersex people are also transgender because they do not identify with their assigned sex at birth, being intersex is not in itself a gender identity (transgender refers specifically to gender identity). I'm aware that in the video it says that some intersex people identify with the sex they are assigned at birth & some don't but I feel that then placing intersex under the trans umbrella term confuses the issue especially as it see
