What is the training about?

This free training covers the concepts of equality, discrimination and human rights in the workplace. It aims to raise attitudinal awareness, examine ways to break down barriers to equality and diversity and explore how an equality and human rights based approach can improve performance and sustainability.

The agenda will cover:
What 'equality', 'diversity' and 'human rights' mean, how they connect to each other and why they are important
How discrimination can occur, looking at prejudice, assumptions and stereotypes
Equality in law, examining the importance, application and relevance of the Equality Act 2010

The training is open to anyone who is interested, however priority will be given to people working or volunteering in voluntary organisations.
