Equality, Diversity & Inclusion

 

Equality & Diversity Online Training

The words equality and diversity are often used but what do they actually mean? Equality focuses on the law and people's rights, and diversity looks at how we can accept and celebrate our differences. Equality laws exist to identify, tackle and eradicate unlawful discrimination, to help us improve our workplace cultures and behaviours. This can often be quite a challenge, so the first step is to increase our knowledge, understanding and skills in this area.

Equality and Diversity Essentials

E&D Essentials online module. This course has been designed to reflect the needs of the University. It covers:

  • the main principles of equality and diversity and legislation;
  • how equality and diversity impacts on the University and members of the University community; and,
  • outlines the key initiatives and resources available to University members.

There is an assessment at the end of the module which allows users to assess their knowledge.
