This eLearning course addresses equality and diversity in the workplace, providing training on the legal framework and practical steps that organisations and individuals must take to prevent discrimination and promote a culture of equality. The course covers the Equality Act 2010 and the protected characteristics, and explains the different forms of discrimination including direct discrimination, indirect discrimination, harassment, and victimisation.
The training explores what discrimination looks like in practice, using examples and scenarios to illustrate how it can manifest in the workplace. It covers the responsibilities of both employers and employees under the Act, including the duty to make reasonable adjustments for disabled employees and the obligation not to discriminate in recruitment, promotion, or terms and conditions of employment.
The course also addresses the positive steps that organisations can take to promote equality and diversity, including the development of equality policies, the provision of training, and the monitoring of diversity metrics. It explains the concept of positive action and the circumstances in which it is permitted under the Act.
Please note: This is an older version of the course and has been superseded by the Diversity, Equality and Inclusion (CUSTOM) course, which provides more comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of these topics.
