Equality and Diversity Training
 

Equality and Diversity Workshops
 

The Trust is committed to promoting Equality and Diversity and one of the ways we achieve this is through a programme of training workshops for staff. The overall aim of these workshops is to raise awareness of Equality and Diversity and how this impacts on service delivery. The sessions highlight the importance and relevance of Equality and Diversity in today's NHS. 

These half day workshops are for all staff and are designed to enable the participants to utilise tools to explore and develop their roles. They are able to recognize a variety of Equality and Diversity issues and implement pertinent strategies for effective working practice in line with the Trust's Equality and Diversity action plan. The workshops cover key elements such as responsibilities as a role model, Equality and Diversity responsibilities ads a manager and employee in addition to legislation and policy.
 

Equality and Diversity e-learning training package
 

Equality and Diversity training is also available as an e-learning package which can be completed by staff from any computer in the Trust.
 

Future Plans
 

Equality and Diversity will form part of common core content for all clinical and non-clinical foundation degrees developed in partnership with local universities and the Trust.

Equality and Diversity will continue to be highlighted at corporate induction with signposting to the E-Learning programme and the workshops.
