1. Describe how you would address Equality & Diversity in the implementation of staff Training.
Joe White 7th July 2014

2. Equality & Diversity
Equality is ensuring individuals or groups of individuals are treated fairly and equally and no less favourably, specific to their needs, including areas of race, gender, disability, religion or belief, sexual orientation and age.
Diversity aims to recognise, respect and value people’s differences to contribute and realise their full potential by promoting an inclusive culture for all staff and students.
It is the legal obligation to protect against discrimination.
Not All Differences are visible.

3. Overview of Methods We can promote equality and diversity by:
treating all staff fairly
creating an inclusive culture for all
ensuring equal access to opportunities to enable students to fully participate in the learning process
enabling all to develop to their full potential
equipping staff and students with the skills to challenge inequality and discrimination in their work/study environment
making certain that any learning materials do not discriminate against any individuals or groups
ensuring sure policies, procedures and processes don't discriminate

4. Making Assumptions About trainees learning style
About trainees competence
About trainees experiences
About trainees job role
About trainees confidence
About trainees willingness/ability to contribute

5. How can Effective PBS training harness A diverse staff group?
Valuing the differences between people and the ways in which those differences can contribute to a richer, more creative and more productive working environment.
Valuing each members contribution.
Providing support for those with additional needs.
Protect contributors from harassment and bullying.

6. Avoiding Discrimination
Applying an apparently general rule which in practice disadvantages one sex, race etc. i.e You wont be able to use this intervention because……, Student only responds to men.
treating somebody less favourably on the grounds of their sex, race etc eg. Bullying, harassment or exclusion

7. To Conclude
Equality & Diversity awareness is mandatory in order to build and promote good relations between people of all backgrounds
Ensure training is:
Non- intimidating
Non-hostile
Non-degrading
Non-humiliating
