## Description

Making employment decisions or treating people differently based on stereotypes isn't just bad for business; it's illegal. In 2010, the UK Government passed the Equality Act, which protects against various types of discrimination regarding nine key characteristics. Our Equality & Diversity Online Training Course helps your employees prevent discrimination and harassment across activities from recruitment and training to promotion. We have a companion course entitled Equality & Diversity Training for Managers for those in leadership.

## Learning Objectives

- Appreciate the value of diversity
- Identify the protected characteristics and types of discrimination under the Equality Act
- Recognise what harassment is and the different forms it may take in the workplace
