Equality and diversity training
The recruitment and employment of people is governed by a wide range of legislation to prevent discrimination. Current laws cover sex, gender reassignment, pregnancy, age, colour, race, nationality, ethnic or national origin, sexual orientation, religion or belief, disability and marital / civil partnership status.
Failure to comply with employment laws can be costly as there is no cap on discrimination awards made to either employees or potential employees. Just as importantly the negative publicity such cases attract can have a devastating impact on an organisation and its workforce.
This course will give managers and employees an understanding of what their legal responsibilities are within the workplace for eliminating discrimination.
The course will not only provide them with the legal framework for which they need to operate within, but also practical advice and best practice.
Course programme
Typical course content includes:
- Definitions of the different type of discrimination.
