Equality and Diversity in the Workplace Course

This one‑day course is designed for line managers who want to build confidence in recognising and addressing discrimination, victimisation and harassment in the workplace. It provides a clear understanding of the Equality Act 2010 and the implications of getting things wrong, helping managers create fair, respectful and inclusive working environments.

Why This Training Matters

Equality and diversity are not just compliance issues — they are essential to building a positive workplace culture. Managers play a crucial role in setting the tone for fairness, respect and inclusion.
