Equality and Diversity

Understanding equality and diversity goes far beyond policies and polite conversation. This course guides learners through the essentials—from legislation to unconscious bias—clearing the fog around values, beliefs, and how they shape environments. It explores the intersections of human rights, discrimination types, and the legal structures underpinning equality in the UK.

Whether you’re analysing your own biases or simply wondering how values influence actions, this course has you covered—without the fluff. With focused modules on affirmative action and equality analysis, you'll come away with a well-rounded grasp of the subject and an eye for fairness sharper than a critic at a talent show.
