This course will help improve your understanding of current legislation and the key principles surrounding equality and diversity. You will also study the importance of equality and diversity within different contexts and gain an understanding of the different issues affecting equality and diversity in today’s society.

The UK is culturally diverse, and respects and values the differences in people, with legal requirements for organisations to follow, to help ensure discrimination is eradicated and expectations of equality are met. A good understanding of the wide-ranging legislation is essential in creating a workplace that is centred on fairness, dignity and respect.
