Equality & Diversity Online Training

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.
