Equality and Diversity E-training for staff

The University has launched an Equality and Diversity e-training facility for all staff. The e-training is an easy way to ensure your knowledge on Equality and Diversity matters is up-to-date. This will help to ensure that the University creates a learning and working environment which is accessible and inclusive.

Two modules are available. 'Diversity in the Workplace' provides basic training on the legislative framework and its practical implications. All staff are encouraged to complete this module.

The second module, 'Diversity in Teaching and Learning', focuses on the specific issues for teaching staff. It allows colleagues to reflect on their teaching practice and provides guidance regarding developing an inclusive learning environment.

Each module will take approximately 60-90 minutes to complete. They can be started, saved and returned to at your convenience.
