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, 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 Regulations applying to Sexual Orientation and to Religion and Belief and, for the public sector, the Race Relations (Amendment) Act. 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 opportunities 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 the workplace. Participants should have a basic awareness of diversity and understand the range of issues this relates to. This workshop seeks to enhance existing knowledge and develop understanding of legislation in the context of their roles and responsibilities at work.
