Course Aims

These highly participative programmes would be aimed at the employment and working relationship aspects of diversity and equality and or the public service delivery aspects of diversity and equality within the public sector depending on the needs of the client.

The programmes aim to provide participants with the opportunity to explore all diversity and equality in the context of employment (policy and procedures, recruitment, training and development, pay and reward, career progression) and working relationships (valuing and understanding difference, conflict, harassment and bullying) and or public service delivery (accessibility and social cohesion).

The 1 day programmes provide a comprehensive, practical case study based overview of all aspects of diversity and equality whereas the half day workshops aim to raise awareness but provide less opportunity for case studies.
