Overview
Diversity is about difference, variety and individuality. It is about appreciating that we are all unique, with our own talents, appearance, needs, backgrounds, ambitions and priorities. This programme is about dovetailing the need to embrace difference and individuality, with the need to be aware of the moral and legal implications of not doing so.
Objectives
By the end of the programme, participants will be able to:
* Identify and understand the responsibilities of employers and employees under current legislation.
* List their own responsibilities in relation to Trust policies.
* State ways in which their actions can support equality and diversity.
* Identify the potential for discriminatory or exclusionary practices based on prejudice and stereotyping, and strategies to reduce such prejudices.
Who it is suitable for
Principally, all staff members, but particularly where their role and actions could potentially lead to claims of unfair or discriminatory behaviour against the Trust or the staff member personally.
