All of our Equaliy & Diversity courses include the following objectives:
To equip delegates with the knowledge and skill needed to reduce incidents of unfair treatment in the work place and enhance communication, efficiency and effectiveness.

Ÿ Understand assumptions, prejudice and stereotyping - Demonstrates how negative we can be and that initial assumptions generally mean that we can take a dislike to someone. Wherever we have a dislike there is the possibility to be unfair.
Ÿ Identifying our own prejudices - Explore our values, opinions and dislikes.
Ÿ Understand what is meant by discrimination and its relationship with prejudice - Identify the 4 ways in which our personal dislikes can manifest themselves in unfair treatment of others. Understand which of these 4 elements is acceptable.

Ÿ Identify examples of Direct Discrimination, Indirect Discrimination, Victimisation and Harassment - Identify examples of offences within the workplace.
Ÿ Recognise the importance of communication and feedback - Recognise how important communication is with regard to identifying and changing inappropriate behaviour.
Ÿ Relate the effects of discrimination to ‘Allport’s scale’ - This useful model demonstrates what unfair treatment looks like and feels like. It also shows what happens if unfair treatment is not stopped by utilising effective communication.
Ÿ Relate the elements of ‘Allport’s Scale’ to the world today, the workplace, schools and relationships with others.
