| Diversity Legislation in Practice
This one day workshop examines current employment legislation relating
to diversity, and how this applies in the workplace. Through the
use of case studies and video scenarios the workshop will increase delegates' understanding
of legislation such as the Race Relations Act, Sex Discrimination
Act, Disability Discrimination Act, Employment Act, and more recent
legislative changes such as the Employment Equality (Age) Regulations and the Equality Act 2006. The workshop
will explain how these Acts should be applied in the workplace and
will clarify areas of uncertainty such as personal and organisational
liability. Delegates will gain confidence in the application of
employment law and their organisation's Equal Opportunities Policy,
equipping them with the knowledge to support their organisation
in meeting its legal obligations, business objectives and organisational
values.
What is the Aim of the workshop?
The workshop will enable participants to:
- Have an increased awareness of legislation relating to equality
of opportunity and its application
- Identify and begin to assess how the organisational Equal Opportunities
Policy and related legislation may impact on their specific role
and responsibilities
- Have practical guidance and support to enable them to apply
their policies to meet the requirements of the legislation
Who should participate?
This one day workshop is for staff from all organisations who require
an understanding of diversity legislation and its application in
