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

Test questions were a bit scewed I think
I think harassment and bullying have no place in the workplace, but I also think there are more groups being treated more "equal" than others and that looks as though it is an agenda. It appears now that it is too easy to feel offended.
Excellent content and presenters

A good reminder to always think what if this was me
The course is a good one, but the length could be reviewed – perhaps split into 2 parts

Why is Equality and Diversity training important?
Compliance
What does the law say on equality and diversity?
It’s important that you comply with the law and know the ways in which it affects you and the way you work. The Equality Act 2010 was established to provide a framework for businesses to adhere to the right of employees, and how they are treated in the workplace.
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 based on 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; and sexual orientation.
