Equality Essentials – Making sense of equality in practice
Why your people need training in Equality Essentials
Equality means different things to different people and is sometimes confused with added business burdens and positive discrimination.
We believe that equality is about recognising and promoting people’s rights and responsibilities in ways that support the creation of an inclusive working and customer service environment.
Without a clear focus on equality, realising a culture that celebrates diversity is impossible. This is why Skill Boosters has developed Equality Essentials.
This interactive and engaging learning tool is designed to demystify and simplify equality issues. It provides staff and managers with a practical introduction to the key principles to help promote equality in your workplace.
How this course will benefit your organisation
Equality Essentials enables your staff to gain quick insight into key themes for good equality practice. It helps your staff understand key terms, how to identify and respond to harassment and bullying, and gives tips for creating an inclusive service and putting equality into practice.
