To foster a culture of equal opportunity, businesses must embrace the principles of equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI), placing them at the heart of their policies and procedures. As individuals, we have the responsibility to treat others fairly, just as we’d expect to be treated fairly ourselves. Only then can we reap the benefits of a truly diverse and inclusive workplace, not to mention society as a whole.

Certain characteristics are protected by the equality law and it is necessary for every employee to know what these are, so they can abide by the equality legislation. If a person feels your organisation (or someone in your organisation) has treated them unfairly, they can start a grievance procedure or take their case to the employment tribunal. It is important to make sure everyone in your organisation complies with equality law.

EDI or DEI – whatever acronym you choose to use, embracing the principles of equality, diversity and inclusion are key to building a fairer workplace and acting in line with the Equality Act. This course addresses threats to equality such as discrimination, harassment and victimisation, and explores how you can promote fairness, diversity and inclusion in your workplace. The course boosts understanding of the equality and diversity legislation, and its hand-picked examples demonstrate the benefits that come from promoting equality, diversity and inclusion in the workplace.

When you finish the course, you will be asked to demonstrate your understanding of some of the key points by completing a short assessment.
