Course Overview

This course provides the broad based-knowledge of Equality & Diversity needed by all staff working in the health sector today.

Learners will gain insight into the benefits and aspects of equality and diversity, as well as an understanding of discrimination, the importance of language and communication, and the impact of legislation.

We’ve all heard and used the words ‘equality’ and ‘diversity’ before but what do they actually mean and how do they affect you as an employer or employee?

Well if you take the words on their own they are actually quite different, equality is the state of being equal, especially in rights and opportunities.

Diversity is the state of being different or varied.

However these 2 things should not be seen as opposite to each other, after all people can be different but they still have the same rights.

When it comes to places of work there is legislation in place to ensure that we all meet our responsibilities in relation to equality and diversity… And one way to make sure we meet these responsibilities is through training.
