    • Course overview

      Every year there are approximately 270,000 incidents of ‘hate crime’ in the UK. These are crimes that, more often than not, involve varying degrees of violence, and are committed against someone due to their disability, race, sexual orientation, religion or other type of prejudice.

      Promoting equality and diversity in the workplace and the wider community is crucial to a great working environment. Therefore, this course is suitable to any employees in any workplace. This course promotes social awareness and good practice of equality and diversity within a community, at work, at home and in society in general. It is designed to strengthen your knowledge and to help you become more socially aware in the workplace.

      This course will strengthen learners’ knowledge of best practice regarding issues of equality and diversity, as well as providing key information to become more socially aware. Subjects that are covered in the course include personal and social identities, beliefs, values, stereotyping and labelling, prejudice and discrimination.

      This is an online course. You will receive your welcome email with further details within 48 hours of enrolment. Once you have enrolled, you will be asked to provide a copy of an official form of ID, such as passport, before receiving your login details.
