Working Effectively with the Equality Act

The Equality Act legally protects people from harassment, victimization and discrimination in the workplace and in wider society on the grounds of certain ‘protected characteristics’. These are: age, race, disability, religion or belief, gender, gender reassignment, pregnancy and maternity, marriage and civil partnership and sexual orientation.
Using a combination of drama and commentary from leading psychologists and equality and diversity experts, this course looks at the key provisions of the Act and how organisations can use their legal obligations as a springboard to create truly inclusive working environments, enable staff to achieve their potential and to deliver excellent service to customers.
