Description

The modern workplace is highly diverse. With cultural trends and world events constantly changing, it is essential for organisations to make sure their people understand the risks and issues associated with equality and discrimination at work.

Even with a sound policy on equality and discrimination, you can still be at risk of claims based on what your employees say and do to each other.

By training your people you might be able to divert liability onto the individual if a claim goes to tribunal.

A plain-speaking, practical course using real-life examples of cases and workplace blunders to inform your employees of the equality and discrimination challenges in today’s diverse workplace.

This course is CPD certified.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
