Training
Training helps build workplace understanding and tolerance. The Equality Act 2010 allows employers to defend employment tribunal claims if they can show that they took “all reasonable steps” to prevent workplace discrimination and harassment.
Effective policies and up to date, regular training are key components in such a defence. The Government intends to introduce a new positive duty on employers to prevent workplace discrimination, and harassment and training will continue to be a vital step in establishing compliance.
Pre-recorded Training
Pre-recorded training is available to purchase at a fixed price of £750 ex VAT and can be used with as many staff as you need as many times as required
before the annual renewal date. This can be useful where it is difficult to find a suitable time to have staff come together at the same time for training or for staff who
have missed regular training dates.
Equality and Diversity New
Our essential Equality and Diversity Training is available now. To help employers demonstrate compliance with their legal duties, this 90 minutes recorded session covers:
- An understanding of what is protected by discrimination laws in Scotland, England and Wales
- The scope and breadth of the “protected characteristics” of age, disability, gender re-assignment, marriage and civil partnership, race, religion and belief, sex and sexual orientation
- Examples from recent employment tribunal cases
- The types of actions that would be regarded as workplace harassment and the implications for employers and employees, such as the potential for personal liability of employees and the scope of the protection at social events connected with work.
This training package comes with questions to consolidate learning.
Training materials should be refreshed on an annual basis.

Follow-up Zoom Sessions
It can be beneficial for businesses to add an active training session after staff have undertaken the recorded training,
to enhance training further.
A 60 minute live Q&A session via Zoom can be arranged for up to 20 delegates. The fixed cost for this is £500 ex VAT.

In addition to our pre-recorded training material, bespoke recorded training materials can be prepared, as well as scripted materials for HR professionals to deliver training or scripted scenarios for inclusion in bespoke training videos.
