The course explores relevant legislation, different forms of discrimination and practical approaches to promoting diversity and valuing others.
Learners will also explore how values, attitudes, beliefs, stereotypes and prejudices can influence behaviour and contribute to discrimination.
Understanding Equality and Diversity
