Equality & Diversity Training for Managers

Making employment decisions or treating people differently based on stereotypes isn't just bad for business. It's illegal.

The UK Equality Act protects against various types of discrimination in respect of nine key characteristics. The types of discrimination include direct, indirect, harassment and victimisation.

Our Equality & Diversity Training for Managers will help your leaders understand how to prevent discrimination and harassment in their teams.

We also have a companion course for all employees entitled Equality & Diversity in the Workplace.
